Important Tailgate & Parking Policy
- ⚠️ Stadium Parking Passes: Please note that physical or mobile stadium parking passes are not included in our package pricing. Clients must pre-purchase and provide a valid vehicle parking/tailgating pass for their designated lot. You can secure your digital passes online in advance via the Official Notre Dame Gameday Parking Page.
- 🕒 Important Midwest Time Zone Notice:
Please note that South Bend, Indiana is in the Eastern Time Zone (ET), which is 1 hour ahead of Chicago/Chicagoland (Central Time).All kickoff times listed on our schedule are displayed in Central Time (CT) for your convenience. However, because you “lose an hour” traveling to the stadium, your 10-hour package clock will automatically account for this shift. Please keep this in mind when coordinating your morning pickup time with our dispatch team to ensure you maximize your 1 hour of pre-game tailgating time!
