Huntington Bank Stadium: tickets, parking and arrival

Huntington Bank Stadium is at 2009 University Avenue SE, on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis. It is identified as HBSTAD, building ID 01-196. Gopher football is the event with the clearest arrival and entry guidance: public entrances, parking facilities and shuttle services are outlined for game days.

If you’re planning time around the wider campus, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus visit guide covers the university setting. For event schedules, use the University of Minnesota Athletics pages; game listings and ticket offerings can change.

For Gopher football, public gates typically open 1 hour and 30 minutes before kickoff, while the stadium ticket office opens three hours before kickoff. This timeline is subject to change, so check the official site before you go.

Mobile tickets are available through the Official Gopher Sports App, an email link or an account at gophersports.com/myaccount. Have your ticket ready on your phone before reaching the gate, and use one of the public entrances: Gates A, B, C, D, E or Steele County.

Guest-services booths are at Gate A near section 101, Gate C near section 126 and Gate E near section 145. The stadium has an accessible elevator, wheelchair-accessible restrooms on floors 0G, 01, 03, 04, 05 and 06, and an adult changing table in a restroom on floor 06.

Single-game parking is available at several campus ramps and garages, with prices and availability varying by lot. These facilities are first come, first served, accept credit cards only and do not allow tailgating.

Campus ramps and garages

Oak Street Ramp, Church Street Garage and Washington Avenue Ramp cost $30 each. East River Road Garage costs $15. Confirm current availability and prices with University of Minnesota Athletics before setting out.

State Fairgrounds Lot S108

Lot S108 in St. Paul costs $15 per vehicle or $60 per RV, with tailgating permitted. A shuttle to the stadium starts three hours before the game, runs every 10 minutes during the game, then continues for one hour after the game or until the crowd clears.

ADA parking is available in each operating parking facility around the stadium. You need a gameday parking pass for the facility and a government-issued ADA placard. The recommended single-game ADA parking location is University Avenue Ramp; if it’s sold out, 4th Street Ramp and then Oak Street Ramp are alternatives.

At the stadium, an ADA drop-off is off University Avenue at the southwest corner near Gate E; after drop-off, drivers must continue to an appropriate gameday parking facility.

Courtesy shuttles run before games from 4th Street Ramp, University Avenue Ramp, Oak Street Ramp, Lot 37 and the Ski-U-Mah Lot. After games, they operate from Gates A, B, D and E, as well as Benton County. For public transit maps, schedules and other Gopher sports travel information, consult Metro Transit.

For local orientation before or after the game, the Roseville city center guide covers getting around the area.
