Parking Around DATCU Stadium

Single-game digital parking passes can be purchased in-advance or on gameday at the entrance to the Blue Lot or Orange Lot. Both lots are cashless.

To help you navigate the ongoing TxDOT and City of Denton road construction around DATCU Stadium and on the UNT campus, a dedicated webpage has been developed — MeanGreenSports.com/Parking — to provide weekly updates on the road projects, parking lot directions and a detailed DATCU Stadium parking map. Please visit the page for the latest information as you plan and prepare for gameday travel.

We know construction can be inconvenient, and we deeply appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these city and state projects together.
