Cars
Pre-sale single game parking is sold online only and ceases at Noon the Friday before each game OR when passes sell out. Pre-sold passes for public lots are first-come, first-served with pass holders choosing their lot upon arrival. Remaining passes may be available on site the day of the game.
Vehicles in standard stalls (including attached accessories) must not exceed 24 feet in length and 8 feet 6 inches in width. Vehicles with pull-behind trailers or pull-behind smokers are prohibited. Oversized vehicles that don't fit an assigned space and haven't been pre-approved will be directed to park elsewhere.
Recreational Vehicles
Cyclone Club members with RV permits park in RV Village — numbered space map here. Additional RV parking is available at ISU Research Park (~1 mile south of the stadium); tailgating is prohibited there. Research Park RV parking opens Fridays at 5:00 p.m.
Parking Lot Opening Times
Donor Lots: Kickoff 11:00–11:30 a.m. → lots open 6:00 a.m. | Kickoff 12:00–4:00 p.m. → lots open six hours before kickoff | Kickoff after 4:00 p.m. → lots open 10:00 a.m.
Public Grass Lots: Kickoff 11:00–11:30 a.m. → lots open 6:00 a.m. | Kickoff 12:00 p.m. or later → lots open six hours before kickoff
Arrival & Staging
Vehicles entering before scheduled opening times may be towed. Don't stage at lot entrances before opening — cars may be asked to move at any time, and law enforcement can require staged vehicles blocking traffic to relocate. Lots may occasionally open early at law enforcement's request; this varies game to game. On average, under 20% of stalls fill in the first two hours, and under 10% fill in the first 30 minutes, so early staging usually isn't necessary. Fans should not save spots for vehicles arriving later.
Emergency Lanes
Red-painted emergency lanes must stay clear for law enforcement, fire, and EMS access, and to keep lots accessible as they fill. Tailgating equipment must be moved from travel lanes as vehicles pass. Each parking pass entitles use of one space only — grills, games, tents, and chairs may not occupy additional non-reserved space. Vehicles must not pull onto curbs or islands; all tires must stay on paved surfaces.
Neighborhood Parking
Watch for posted signage and restrictions if parking in neighborhoods near the stadium: City of Ames gameday parking info.
Free Parking
Free parking is available at ISU Research Park and central campus (both within ~1 mile of the stadium). Follow posted restrictions; tailgating is not permitted at these free lots.
Only university-managed golf carts with a pre-approved gameday function are permitted in Iowa State lots on football gamedays. Carts without prior approval are subject to ticketing and removal.
The general public Will-Call window is at the ticket office inside the Jacobson Building (north end of the stadium). Single-game tickets, if available, may be purchased online or at the ticket trailer southwest of Gate 3. All tickets are based on availability. The ticket office opens 4 hours before kickoff or 8 a.m. (whichever is later) and stays open through halftime. Children under two do not need a ticket.
Use caution buying from secondary ticket markets or resellers — Iowa State Athletics cannot guarantee authenticity.
All game tickets and parking passes are issued digitally to fans' smartphones/mobile devices. Screenshots of barcodes cannot be used for admission. Download the official Iowa State Athletics app and visit Iowa State's Digital Ticketing Guide for full details on accessing and managing digital tickets and parking passes. To avoid delays, load your tickets and parking into your mobile wallet before leaving for the game.
All stadium gates have ticket pedestals for scanning your ticket directly from your mobile device.
