You'll miss kick off, unless you have a parking pass close. Which you do not, otherwise you wouldn't be asking where you need to park.

I usually get to campus early on game day so parking isn't an issue. Usually park by West Campus/old tennis courts but will not be leaving early.

I'm going to guess that parking is going to be an issue getting there that late.

I could always do the $10 CATS Touchdown Express from L'Auberge. Just don't know how bad the traffic is.

When I lived 6 blocks from WalkOn's... traffic was horrible hours before the game and not so bad the closer it got to game time.

Traffic no, Parking yes...unless you get a spot from someone who has left.

There is a parking garage at the bookstore now. About $20 if I remember. Do a search to see if can get a pass in advance and if you can get that far into campus that late.

Ok since I cant make games like I used to, I will disclose my route.. I never got caught in traffic before or after games. Start at City Park golf course and take washington over highland, into the hood. Nobody likes driving in the hood. Park around Alaska Park, but only if you have a man with you. Take same route out

For night games you’ll be fine. Plenty of day tailgaters have left and you’ll have your pick of spots around law center or Parker coliseum. Best to enter campus via Dalrymple or South Campus

At that point it may be better to literally wait until 10min before. A lot of the roadblocks are picked up by then and you can drive right down Nicholson in front of the stadium.

It was so much easier when I owned a condo south of campus.

Should never have sold it, for more than football parking reasons.

We park in 201 which is right next to the PMAC, and if you arrive less than 2 hours prior to kickoff, you’re not getting in due to the team coming down the hill and the throngs of people.. we usually arrive 4 or 5 hours before kickoff and even then it’s really hard to get to the lot without running over large swaths of people.

We tailgate at the old "cow palace". Some people leave the tailgate around that time to go home instead of the game. I would swing thru that lot. It is free and about a 10-15 minute walk to stadium.

Park in the church lots on darymple, for non sec games there should be a spot, but you are cutting it close, 2 hrs would be safer. It’s at least a mile walk

There are single game parking passes available for the first game. Possibly for all of them if you are so inclined.

Georgia Southern single game pass

Northwestern Parking Pass

Season parking passes

Parking garage is one of the best places to park, IMO. If you get season passes there it is non renewable, FYI
