Parking Information: 2023 NCAA Baseball Lexington Regional on UK Campus
UPDATE (Monday, June 5)
More parking options are available for the Monday night game due to the conclusion of Railbird Music Festival and KHSAA State Championships. The earlier fans arrive, the closer they can expect to park to Kentucky Proud Park.
Fans are urged to avoid driving via Nicholasville Road “Inbound” (toward Downtown). Traffic flow in Lexington will follow normal Monday commute lanes so there will only be one lane going inbound.
Free shuttles will be available from the Kroger Field Blue and Green lots, and parking staff will be present to assist with providing directions to the closest available lot. Shuttles will run from 4:30 pm to 10 p.m., and they are accessible for those with disabilities.
A limited number of accessible parking spaces for those with a valid, state-issued disabled hangtag will be available in the Home Plate lot immediately next to the main gates at Kentucky Proud Park, while all other spaces in the Home Plate lot require a reserved parking permit.
Here is the updated parking map for tonight’s game:
LEXINGTON, Ky. – With the University of Kentucky campus set to host the Lexington Regional of the NCAA Baseball Championship as well as the Kentucky High School Athletic Association State Championships in Track and Field and Softball, in addition to the Railbird Festival going on at Red Mile nearby in Lexington on Saturday and Sunday, UK Athletics is issuing important fan reminders.
Fans are urged to plan ahead, arrive early, and follow signs and staff directions to minimize travel time and make arriving to the games as smooth as possible.
Fans are asked to be mindful that multiple high-traffic events are taking place on the UK Campus and, on Saturday and Sunday, nearby at the Red Mile for the Railbird Festival, so parking lots will fill up the closer to game time it gets.
The UK Campus parking infrastructure supports more than 60,000 visitors on football gamedays so even with so many events going on, fans will have parking options. The earlier fans arrive, the closer they can expect to park to Kentucky Proud Park. Free, handicap accessible shuttles will serve multiple parking lots.
