Skip the parking scramble
Memorial Stadium sits on the eastern edge of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, making it accessible from multiple directions. Most fans drive and park in surrounding surface lots or garages, with prices ranging from $20 to $60 depending on proximity. The Haymarket parking garages offer a solid option about a 10-15 minute walk west of the stadium. StarTran, Lincoln's public bus system, offers limited game day service, but rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are widely used — set your pickup point a few blocks from the stadium to avoid the post-game surge. If you're staying downtown, walking is the easiest and most enjoyable option.
