Parking

Free accessible parking for home football games is in parking lot E-6 (behind Sikes Hall), along Parkway Drive, and Cherry Road. Upon entering the lot, a uniformed officer will verify that you have a valid, state issued handicap placard or license tag that is appropriately displayed and will give you blue wristbands that will allow you to use the accessible shuttle service to access the stadium. Please see the transportation section for more information about the shuttle.

Transportation

Upon entry into the Sikes, Parkway Drive, and Cherry Road lot, a uniformed officer will verify your handicap parking placard and give you two wristbands, one for the person the pass is assigned to and one for an assistant. The wristbands will serve as your ticket to use the handicap accessible shuttles to and from Gate 1 of Memorial Stadium. Shuttle service begins 3 hours prior to all home games. As with all weekends, buses do not run on campus during weekend games.

If you did not park in the Sikes, Parkway Drive, and Cherry Road lot and need assistance in getting to the stadium, look for the pickup locations designated by the tall white poles with the blue stripe. Transit Service on gameday is available from the following areas: C-1 parking lot, Snow Center, Seneca Creek Meadows Lot, and Newspring Church.

  • C-1 parking lot: shuttle operates from when the parking lot opens until one hour after kick off.
  • Snow Center / Seneca Creek Meadows / Newspring Church: Shuttle operates from when the parking lots open until one hour post-game.
  • Sikes Hall A.D.A. Shuttle: shuttle operates three hours pregame until one hour post game. The shuttle is limited to the A.D.A. patron and one assistant.

Tiger Transit will not operate for three hours following the end of the game to allow time for traffic to disperse. To request a ride, log on to https://ondemand.transloc.com and select Clemson University from the Agency list.

Golf cart shuttles are also available to assist fans with transportation from standard pick up areas to the stadium. On the day of the game, call (864)656-2931 to arrange a time and pick up location. 

To travel from parking lots to tailgating parties or other venues, you will need to make your own transportation arrangements.
