Getting in

Tailgating. Tailgating is allowed on Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium property only. Tents larger than 10'x10' pop-up are allowed only on the perimeter of the stadium and in the NavyFest area (locations via 1-800-US4-NAVY). Fans may not take up extra parking spaces within the Stadium lots for tailgating; reserving a space is not permitted. Fans wanting to tailgate together are encouraged to arrive at the same time to the same parking gate. Irresponsible tailgating results in forfeiture of the parking pass for the remainder of the season and possible cancellation of season ticket privileges. Cars may enter and park in the stadium lot after 7:00 a.m. for all 12:00 p.m. kickoffs and after 9:30 a.m. for all 3:30 p.m. kickoffs; lots close 1 1/2 hours after the playing of 'The Blue & Gold'. Small gas grills are permitted. Open bonfires and campfires are prohibited (no special permits are issued); all cooking materials should be limited to charcoal briquettes placed in covered grills only. Starting an open fire risks a federal, state or city fine and/or prosecution. Recreational vehicle and bus parking is located at the North end of the stadium; display the pre-purchased oversize vehicle pass and enter through Gate 1 along Farragut Road. Vehicles with a trailer must use a perimeter parking area. Oversized (RV/bus) season parking pass is $650. Perimeter tailgating info via the NAAA Ticket Office (800-US4-NAVY / tickets@usna.edu).
Accessibility. Stadium meets ADA requirements for parking, seating, restrooms and areas/operations. Accessible (ADA) seating is available throughout the lower level on the upper blue (west) and gold (east) side, first come first serve by calling the ticket office. Accessible parking is accessed from Farragut Road on the North end and requires a purchased parking pass plus a state-issued accessible placard or license plate (first come first serve). ADA-equipped shuttles run from auxiliary lots — Germantown Elementary and the free Harry S. Truman Park n Ride shuttle, which drops guests at the ticket office windows. Service pet relief stations are in the grass areas on the Northeast and Northwest corners. Contact the Ticket Office at 1-800-874-NAVY or tickets@usna.edu in advance; game-day assistance at the North End Zone Ticket Office.
Entry. No re-entry until halftime. To re-enter, a guest must have their game ticket scanned before exiting and again upon re-entry; you may not exit multiple times. Midshipmen March-On occurs 30 minutes prior to the game and Taylor Avenue is closed from Rowe Boulevard to Gate 5.
