Directed Parking
When the parking lots open on game days all vehicles will be directed to parking spots.
However, being a perimeter tailgater, you have special parking rights if you have
purchased a season parking pass. The two types of special parking passes (orange or red)
will allow you to access your tailgate spot without being directed to park with the general
parkers. A red parking pass means you will park INSIDE your actual tailgate boundaries.
An orange parking pass means that you will park in a marked spot adjacent to the tailgate
boundaries. Please enter the stadium through the gate marked on your parking pass.
To discuss any unique circumstances please call Nolan Barry in the office at (410) 293-
8786.
Red vs. Orange Parking
Blue Side Tailgaters – On the blue side of the stadium, vehicles with RED passes must
park inside the actual tailgate space. For ORANGE vehicles, spots will either be attached
to the edge of your tailgate space (Example 1) or across the fire lane (Example 2). All
ORANGE parking spots will be marked in spray paint with your space number.

that make up your tailgate area. ORANGE vehicles must park across the fire line in
