New Grove Traffic Flow
With construction ongoing at Jones Hall, portions of Grove Loop will be closed to thru traffic on gamedays. Vehicles entering campus on University Avenue will not be able to turn right onto Grove Loop.
For pickups and dropoffs on the north side of The Grove, fans will enter campus via Jackson Ave. They will travel down Sorority Row, turn left into the pickup/dropoff zone along Grove Loop and then turn left onto Alumni Drive to leave campus via Gertrude Ford Blvd.
The pickup/dropoff zone on Grove Loop will operate in the same fashion as airports. Stops should be brief with no waiting for passengers and no unattended vehicles, and violators will be subject to towing.
University Avenue will remain open as a dropoff location until the road closes approximately four hours prior to kickoff due to pedestrian traffic. Loading and unloading is limited to 15 minutes.
This Week at the Coca-Cola FanFest
Coca-Cola FanFest opens three hours prior to kickoff (3:45 p.m.). Fans can enjoy giveaways, food, refreshments, merch, prizes and more!
No Field Rushes
In order to further avoid safety issues and increased SEC fines, stronger measures are being put in place to ensure field rushes no longer occur at Vaught-Hemingway. Entering the playing field is strictly prohibited, and those found to be violators are subject to arrest. Violators could also be denied ticket privileges for the current and next season, including but not limited to student, season and single-game tickets. All available stadium cameras will be used to assist in identifying violators.
