Skip the parking scramble
Chapel Hill is a walkable college town, and many fans park in university lots off Manning Drive or South Road, typically costing $20–$40 on game days. The Chapel Hill Transit system runs free buses throughout town, and dedicated park-and-ride shuttle service operates from Friday Center and other satellite lots. Rideshare works well for drop-off, but surge pricing and road closures make pickup after the game challenging. If driving, approach from I-40 and follow signs to campus — but expect heavy congestion within a mile of the stadium starting two hours before kickoff.
