Parking

UK sells single-game reserved parking at the William T. Young Library lots for $50 per vehicle, card only; disabled hang-tag parking is there too. Orange lot permits are sold ahead through UK's ticket partner, with prices that vary by game. Parking Structure 6 is the non-permit option. UK lists Parking Structure 1 and the Yellow and Red lot as closed for 2026.

Shuttles

Lextran's game-day shuttles cost $1 each way with exact change. UK's own page gives two different return times for the disabled-lot shuttle and two addresses for the Transit Center, so check Lextran's route map before you go.

Bags, gates and re-entry

UK's clear-bag rule applies: a clear bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches or a one-gallon clear freezer bag, plus a small clutch. Gates 4, 9 and 12 open two hours before kickoff and the rest open 90 minutes before. There is no re-entry. UK does not name a rideshare drop-off point.

A UK football weekend: the next home game, parking, where to eat and the morning after.
