Campus parking lots along Grand Street and National Avenue fill up quickly, costing $10–$15 on game days. Street parking in surrounding residential neighborhoods is free but limited. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are reliable in Springfield, and the drop-off area on Grand Street puts you steps from the gates.
