Getting There
Memorial Stadium sits on the eastern edge of the University of Illinois campus, making it easily accessible from most directions. Driving fans will find ample parking in university-controlled lots along Fourth Street and First Street, typically ranging from $20 to $40 depending on proximity.
🅿️
Parking
The Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CUMTD) runs special game-day shuttle routes from remote lots and key campus stops. Rideshare works well for drop-off, but expect heavy surge pricing and congestion immediately after the final whistle.
🚌
Public Transit
If you're staying within a mile of campus, walking is the simplest and most enjoyable option.
⚡
PRO TIP
Park in the free remote lots near the State Farm Center and ride the CUMTD shuttle directly to the stadium gates.
