Skip the parking scramble
Canvas Stadium sits on the south edge of Colorado State's campus, making it easily accessible from most of Fort Collins. Driving is the most common option, with paid parking lots ($20–$40) surrounding the stadium and additional overflow lots a short shuttle ride away. Rideshare works well with a designated drop-off zone on Lake Street, though expect surge pricing post-game. Fort Collins' Transfort bus system offers free game day shuttles from select park-and-ride locations, which is a smart move for avoiding the post-game parking crunch. Biking is also popular — the city's extensive trail network connects directly to campus.
