Parking in both the east and west stadium lots requires a permit for entry, which must be displayed at all times.

General public parking is available for $20 in the satellite parking lots to the north and east of the stadium.

Rideshare Zones

K-State Athletics has designated rideshare pickup/dropoff zones for commercial services such as Uber, Lyft, taxis and limousines, on each side of Bill Snyder Family Stadium. These zones are marked by flags in the Gate 3 drive lane of the West lot and in the center (east/west) drive lane of the East lot. Rideshare service drivers may drop off their fares in these zones pregame, then exit the parking lot. At the end of the third quarter, rideshare service drivers may begin staging at these locations to pick up fares postgame. Once stadium traffic has begun exiting the lots until approximately 45 minutes following the game, rideshare providers will not be allowed into the parking lots. After this time, drivers may resume accepting requests for fares. Fans using rideshare services are reminded of the K-State Clear Bag Policy.

Tailgating

Tailgating will be prohibited in parking lots in order to reduce the risk of large gatherings. Fans cannot bring or set up any items normally associated with a tailgate at their vehicle. Typical tailgate items such as lawn chairs, coolers, grills, tent canopies, tables, etc. are prohibited. Further, fans may not congregate at their vehicles to eat, drink or socialize while awaiting to enter the game. Fans are encouraged to park, gather their game gear and finish drinks as they walk directly to the stadium to enter.

Parking Process

The process to obtain a parking pass takes place online in conjunction with the season ticket renewal process. At the date and time emailed to you based on your Ahearn Fund Priority Point ranking, Ahearn Fund donors will have the opportunity to select from available parking passes in the online ordering system. After moving through the seat selection process, you will be prompted to choose an available parking stall. If an additional Ahearn Fund contribution is required, you will be contacted by the Ahearn Fund office regarding payment. Questions about this process? Contact the Ahearn Fund office at 888-232-9074 or ahearnfund@kstatesports.com.

Parking Pass Contributions

Please be aware that an additional Ahearn Fund contribution may be required for your parking pass addition. If your priority seating contribution does not total $1,000, you will be required to contribute a total of $1,000 to the Football Priority Seating Allocation. For VIP parking, a total contribution of $500 to the Football Priority Seating Allocation is required.
