The Complete Guide to Blacksburg Gameday Parking

Official campus lots, private driveways, downtown garages, and tailgating spots — everything you need to know about parking for a Virginia Tech football game.

On Virginia Tech gamedays, park your car in official campus lots or use downtown and private spots. Public campus parking usually costs $30 and must be paid via the ParkMobile app. These lots fill up quickly, so arrive early.

Official Campus Parking

Locations: Perry Street Parking Garage, North End Center Garage, Ag Quad Lot, and Squires Lot.

Price: Approximately $30.

Accessibility: ADA parking is available in the Oak Lane Lot for $30. A dedicated shuttle bus transports fans to Gate 3.

Private Lots & Tailgating

Green/Center/Harrell Streets: Local homeowners and organizations (like the Blacksburg Breakfast Lions Club) sell gameday parking for $40 to $60. These are popular for tailgating.

Historic Smithfield: Located about a mile from the stadium, this spot costs around $50 and welcomes tailgaters.

Downtown Blacksburg

Garages like the Kent Square Garage and nearby municipal lots are available, but require a short walk to Lane Stadium.

Helpful Tips

You can rent private driveways near the stadium in advance using parking apps like SpotHero or Prked.

Download the RideBT transit app to utilize local bus services if you park slightly further out.

Any car parked in gameday lots without a specific pre-purchased permit will be towed.
