Parking & shuttles: The district is providing special Game Day parking and shuttle service.
Due to ongoing construction around the stadium, we strongly urge fans to park at First Baptist Church or First Christian Church, along Park Street between Lee Avenue and Lincoln Avenue, then take a shuttle to the stadium.
You will catch the SPS shuttle between 5:15 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at pick-up locations along Park Street between Lee and Lincoln. The shuttles run continuously during these times. You'll be dropped off in the parking lot near the stadium.
Shuttles will run continuously for 30 minutes following the end of the game, and you may get on the shuttle in the high school lot where you were dropped off.
Handicap and reserved parking spaces are located in front of the stadium. General parking is very limited to the north of the stadium due to construction. Student groups and game workers will park south of the stadium. Please see the maps for reference.
