Fall is just around the corner, which means the return of college football – and Norfolk State University is gearing up for an exciting season. Fans heading to games should plan their travel and parking arrangements ahead of time.

Parking is limited on campus and restricted in nearby neighborhoods. Fans should abide by the posted “No Parking” signs as ticketing and towing will be enforced.

Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), the City of Norfolk and Norfolk State University (NSU) are teaming up this season to provide FREE parking and transit options for fans. This year, MacArthur South and North Garages will be FREE for game patrons. NSU buses will queue at MacArthur South Garage to shuttle fans to the stadium.

Additionally, MacArthur Center is three light rail stops from Norfolk State’s campus. Fans parking at the garage can catch The Tide at MacArthur Station for the FREE light rail ride to the stadium. Complimentary rides are available two hours before and after each game.

The two closest stations to the stadium are the NSU Station (coming from the west) and the Ballentine/Broad Creek Sation (coming from the east).

With free parking at three park-and-ride lots, fans can be steps away from The Tide light rail without the hassles of driving. These park-and-ride lots are at the Newtown Road Station (Newtown Rd. and Kempsville Rd. with 267 spaces) and Military Highway Station (Curlew Dr. and Corporate Blvd. with 235 spaces). The parking lot behind the EVMC/Fort Norfolk Station is available for Saturday games only.

Game day fans should arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff to avoid last-minute crowds. Tailgating begins four hours before kickoff. Gates open two hours before kickoff. Purchase tickets in advance online and skip the lines!
