2024 AUBURN BASEBALL GAMEDAY
Parking and Tailgating
- Fans are encouraged to park in the East Coliseum Lot. Depending on other Auburn University events, parking is also available in:
- Athletics Complex Parking Deck (lower level not available for fan parking)
- Neville Arena Lot
- Stadium Parking Deck
- Accessible parking is available in the East Coliseum Lot and the Neville Arena Parking Lot. A state-issued hang tag or license plate is required and strictly enforced. Please display it in a visible location.
- Fans wishing to access the limited accessible parking in the baseball lot will be able to do so for 2024, but must abide by the entry protocol with the Donahue Drive closure on gameday. Entry to the baseball parking lot will only be allowed from the Tiger Walk intersection. The Donahue closure will not allow vehicles to approach from the south (Samford Ave.) as in previous years.
- Tailgating prior to game time is allowed in green spaces around Plainsman Park. Fans may not block parking spaces nor ease of access to sidewalks with any tailgating gear.
- For the 2024 season, part of Donahue Drive will be shut down and closed to traffic on baseball gamedays. Beginning two hours prior to scheduled first pitch, no traffic will be allowed on Donahue from the right field gate of Plainsman Park to the Tiger Walk corner of Donahue/Heisman Drive. All traffic will be directed either into the Coliseum parking lot (if traveling from Samford Ave.) or to either the west or east on Heisman Drive (if traveling from Magnolia).
- The Donahue closure is due to construction and the need to alleviate traffic congestion.
- The closure will last until the middle of the first inning and then open back up to normal traffic flow until the top of the 7th inning when the closure goes back into effect.
- The closure for end-of-game egress will be in effect from the top of the 7th inning until the stadium has cleared of fans, usually within 30 minutes of the last out. Donahue will be opened earlier if crowd flow and pedestrian/traffic safety situations allow.
