Where to park for Rupp, Kroger Field and the Opera House

Rupp Arena

Rupp Arena is at 430 West Vine Street. For UK men's basketball, UK lists West High Street lots opening at noon; parking is paid, and the page does not give one general rate. Its non-reserved ADA lot at Gate 1 costs $27 per vehicle, card only, requires a valid state-issued disabled hang tag and fills first come, first served. For concerts, check that show's parking instructions before applying the basketball rules.
