Football Spring Showcase is Saturday
Two upcoming events at Kroger Field will impact permit holders in that area. The first is the Kentucky Football Spring Showcase, which begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 12, at Kroger Field. Some permit holders will need to relocate their vehicles for this preview of the Kentucky Wildcats football program.
Permit holders who park in the North and South Red lots, Green Lot, Blue Lot, and Orange Lots are asked to relocate their vehicles to regular season football game day relocation areas.
These permit holders (E10, C10, R10, EK, CK, RK, Professional CK) should relocate prior to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 11. Relocation can start as early as 3:30 p.m. Friday.

The second event is an upcoming concert by Tyler Childers, scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 19, at Kroger Field. This event will also require relocation for permit holders; additional details will be provided next week. However, please be aware that the South Red Lot will be unavailable beginning at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 11, through Tuesday, April 22. LiveNation is using that area to prepare for concert set-up.
Campus parking options increase considerably after 3:30 p.m. on Fridays through the weekends. The following lots and structures will be available for vehicle relocation purposes:
- Employee intermediate (E) lots
- Most employee core lots
- Cornerstone Garage (PS #5)
- Press Avenue Garage (PS #6)
- Hilltop Avenue Garage (PS #2)
Please pay attention to signage at the entrances to lots and structures to ensure that your vehicle is not moved into an area that is controlled for permits 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These areas include residential lots and structures and areas marked as reserved.
Permit holders who park in University Drive Garage (PS #1), Hilltop Avenue Garage (PS #2), and Sports Center Drive Garage (PS #7), may notice additional traffic in those structures before and during the showcase, but permit holders in these structures are not being asked to relocate their vehicles.
Likewise, University Drive will not be restricted during the spring football showcase, as it is during regular season football games. However, University Drive will be unavailable during the Tyler Childers Concert.
Campus Bus Service
The weekend Yellow Route will operate as usual during the spring showcase event. However, riders should anticipate possible delays due to increased traffic congestion in the area.
