Alcorn State University prides itself on having a
"family atmosphere" during athletic events. Fans are encouraged to be mindful of their choices of music so as not to be offensive to others. The university is not responsible for items left overnight, and yellow caution tape or barricades are not permitted.
The safety and well-being of our campus community remain our highest priority. The security measures of the university will be monitored and enhanced. Fans are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the Department of Campus Police (601) 601-877-3000.
Saturday Game Day Procedures
The campus will open for parking at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 8. As you approach the campus, signage will indicate accessible parking areas. The airstrip behind the stadium will be accessible from Highway 552 at a reduced rate of $20 per vehicle. This area places fans near the stadium. If weather is favorable for RVs to park on the airstrip, fans will be redirected to alternate locations.
Fans should park in their assigned reserved spaces and/or areas as directed by the event staff. Alcorn has contracted with a tow truck company to be on campus for expeditious service. Vehicles may be towed at the owner
's expense for failure to follow directions and/or parking in error in reserved lots.
The Main Entry gate to the campus will allow entry only for the following:
General Tailgate
Reserved Tailgate
VIP Parking
Premium Parking
Bus/RVs
ADA Parking
The only passes sold at the main entry are for General Tailgate ($65). General parking may continue (right lane only) to Highway 552 to access the Special Event Parking Lot General Parking ($35) or the back entrance for additional general parking ($35). Note that General Parking passes will not provide access to the tailgate areas around the stadium. Access to the tailgate areas requires a tailgate pass ($65).
Cashless Payment System
All transactions at the point of purchase for parking passes and tickets are cashless. Fans will be able to tap or swipe credit/debit cards to purchase tickets and parking passes—helping to speed up lines and reduce wait times while also minimizing the need to carry physical cash.
Fans can help the process by purchasing tickets and parking online, printing or presenting the QR code for entry, properly displaying parking passes, and planning to arrive early. Due to unpredictable cellular connectivity, be sure to download it before entering campus and ensure it is correct (parking or tickets).
Stadium Entry
Stadium gates open three hours before kickoff. All guests must follow the Clear Bag Policy, which permits only clear plastic bags up to 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches. Non-clear bags should remain in vehicles.
ADA Accessibility
The designated ADA parking lot is located across the street from the stadium. Transport services are available and may be requested by notifying a university event employee.
The university will offer a complimentary shuttle service to transport fans. Services will be provided in the parking locations before, during, and after the game. After the game, the pickup location will be at the home side of the stadium ticket booth and will travel around the stadium perimeter to assist with transporting fans to parking areas.
No ATVs are allowed, but the university continues to allow golf carts during athletic events. Extremely large side-by-side vehicles are not allowed. Golf carts will be restricted from traveling through the VIP parking lot from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. For safety concerns, children under 16 years old are restricted from driving golf carts.
Post-Game Exit Protocols

Beginning Friday, November 7, 2025, only students with the appropriate residential decal will be allowed to access the residential parking areas. On November 8, campus will be a
