Spring Football Game is Saturday: Relocation is Requested

Project/Event: 2026 Kentucky Football Spring Game
Areas Impacted: Kroger Field, College Way East & West Lots

The 2026 Kentucky Football Spring Game will take place this Saturday, April 18, at Kroger Field. Some parking permit holders in the Kroger Field area are asked to relocate their vehicles for this preview of the Kentucky Wildcats football program.
 
The game will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday. Tickets are free, but fans are asked to claim a ticket due to limited capacity.
 
Permit holders who park in the North and South Red lots, Green Lot, Blue Lot, College Way East and West Lots, and Orange Lot are asked to relocate their vehicles to regular season football game day relocation areas. (See map below.)

These permit holders (E10, C10, R10, EK, CK, RK, Professional CK) should relocate prior to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 17. Relocation can start as early as 3:30 p.m. Friday.

Campus parking options increase considerably after 3:30 p.m. on Fridays and throughout 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)
• Sports Center Drive Garage (PS #7)

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 before and during the game, but permit holders in these areas 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. 

Vehicles should be returned to their authorized parking locations prior to 5 a.m. on Monday.

RV Parking Areas
A portion of the Orange Lot will be available to UK Football recreational vehicle (RV) parking starting at 8 p.m. on the Friday before the game.

Campus Bus Service
The weekend Yellow Route will operate as usual during the spring football game. However, riders should anticipate possible delays due to increased traffic congestion in the area.
