Football season is back! UK Wildcats will face the University of Toledo Rockets on Saturday, August 30, for the first game of the season. Kick-off is scheduled for 12:45 p.m.
We look forward to welcoming more Wildcats to campus for this game, which means that some permit holders will need to relocate their vehicles to make space for fans.

In addition to vehicle relocation, there are some changes to the weekend Yellow Route on home football game days. On these days, the buses do not travel to the congested Kroger Field area. Instead, they turn near University and Hospital drives and travel through all major residential areas of campus. The modified route starts two hours pre-game and continues one-hour post-game.
