TICKETS AND PARKING
PARKING
Please note that parking on the main campus will be reserved exclusively for donors. These lots will be available to the general public starting at 5:30 p.m. All general parking will initially be directed to our East Campus lots, which will open at 2 p.m. Once these lots are full, additional parking options around the city include the following:
Option 1: HOP Bus Service - 15th and Pearl Garage
The HOP bus is a convenient option for getting to the stadium. The HOP route includes stops at Walnut/14th (eastbound) and Pearl/15th (both eastbound and westbound), which serve the 1500 Pearl garage. Both clockwise and counterclockwise trips on the HOP bus directly serve CU, with buses running every 12 minutes until 7:00 PM and every 20 minutes between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Please note that on game days, Colorado Avenue is typically closed, and the HOP bus will reroute via Regent Drive to Folsom. A map of the HOP route can be found here.
Option 2: South Campus Parking
Our second parking option is at South Campus, located at Table Mesa Drive, Boulder, CO 80305. This lot will open at 3:00 PM and will not permit tailgating due to the Stage 2 Fire Ban in Boulder. ACE buses will be available to transport patrons, with pick-up and drop-off at the corner of Stadium Drive and Folsom. Parking at South Campus will be $20, payable upon arrival.
ADA shuttles will be smaller in capacity than usual, so ADA patrons should plan for additional time to board and ride the ADA shuttle to the dropoff point near the southwest entrance of Folsom Field.
