Available tickets will be allocated on a week-to-week basis through an online process described below.
Fans at Rhodes Stadium will enter via a digital or touchless ticketing process and will be seated in a socially distanced seating arrangement. All tickets will be Reserved with no General Admission seating. In addition, event safety protocols including structured line spacing, sanitization stations, enhanced cleaning, limited concessions and required masking in all locations will be enforced to help ensure the safety of ticketed guests. Tailgating and gatherings outside the stadium will be prohibited.
Parking will be free in all areas, with the Ingold lot allocated to prior pass holders and ticket purchasers as available. Guests are encouraged to park in the Hunt lots at Schar Center. Lots will open 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
Ticketing allocation process

Any remaining tickets will be made available to Phoenix Club members and then the general public later in the week.
Student, faculty and staff tickets will be distributed through an online request process on a first-come, first-served basis with requests beginning Tuesday mornings at 9:40 a.m.
