Where can we park? Free parking is available in the University Blvd Lot, Creason Lot, Russellville Rd West Lot (next to Arby's), Adams Street Lot, Kentucky Street Lot and Alumni Square Garage. A free trolley service is also available beginning at 4 p.m. from the parking garage in downtown Bowling Green. The trolley runs from the garage to campus and will return back downtown immediately after the football game.

I already have reserved game day parking, is that still available? Yes! Hilltopper Athletic Foundation members with reserved parking spaces will still be able to use their spaces, including those in the South Lawn and Avenue of Champions lots. However, fans should allow extra time and expect delays when entering campus that day due to an expected influx of attendees for the game and special appearance by the band.
Â
Is tailgating allowed? Tailgating across campus remains unchanged, and normal tailgating rules will still apply. However, due to the expected crowds, tailgating tents will not be allowed on South Lawn.
Â
