Access to the stadium is available by using the 5-minute sidewalk / step route between Fordham Hall, the Health Education Center and Genome Sciences Building which connects to the Rams Club pre-game event, the Tar Heel Tailgate in front of Bell Tower Deck and near Gate 5. For a route that provides elevators, try the 7-minute walk to the bridge which connects to level 4 of the Bell Tower Deck (elevators inside) and descend to the surface and Tailgate area.

Patrons with accessibility issues should use the free parking in Ambulatory Care Lot and ride the free ACC Lot shuttles to Gate 6.

Traffic Information

Due to the volume of vehicles expected to be on campus, it is best to plan on traffic delays and follow suggested directions of travel. Traffic is typically heaviest 1.5 hours prior to game time.

Some campus roads are restricted to manage traffic and stadium access. Only emergency vehicle, buses, and patrons with the proper access credentials will be allowed in restricted areas.
