WHY PRE-BOOK

Skip the parking scramble

Ross-Ade Stadium is located on the western edge of Purdue's campus, easily accessible from US-231 and Interstate 65 (about 10 miles east). Paid parking lots surround the stadium, with prices ranging from $20 to $40 depending on proximity; the lots along McCormick Road fill up fastest. CityBus operates free game day shuttles from remote lots and key campus locations. Rideshare works well for drop-off along Stadium Avenue, though expect significant surge pricing after the game. If you're staying in downtown Lafayette, the drive is only about 10 minutes, but allow extra time on game day for traffic.
