Parking and tailgating
General parking for home games is in the I-1 garage at the normal hourly rate. It opens three hours before kickoff, and there's no tailgating in the garage. Accessible parking is on the garage's first floor, entering from North Ithan Avenue; use Gate 3.
Lots open four hours before kickoff, and the Wildcat Walk starts two hours before. Tailgating happens in Lot A-2, and the Alumni Association hosts a free tailgate on select dates.
Gates, bags and security
Gates and will call open 90 minutes before kickoff. Every entrance has walk-through metal detectors.
Clear bags up to 12″ × 6″ × 12″ are allowed, plus small bags up to 5″ × 7″ like fanny packs, clutches and wristlets. Backpacks and large bags aren't. Medical and parenting bags are allowed after a search.
There's no re-entry after your ticket is scanned.
Tickets and what to leave home
Tickets are mobile-only in the Nova Athletics app. Screenshots don't work, and transfers have to be done before the game. The box office is cashless.
Outside food and drink, coolers, cans, noisemakers, drones, selfie sticks, tripods and pets (service animals are welcome) aren't allowed. Empty refillable bottles are fine.
Philly tip: Taking the train? Villanova Station drops you right on campus, so you skip the garage line entirely.
