Please plan to arrive early as the parking areas and access routes around Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium have changed for the 2026 season. Review the parking and stadium map before leaving for the game and identify your parking lot and recommended Liberty Park Access Point.
The lot formerly known as Silver Lot 4 is now the Diamond Lot. Access to the Diamond Lot is reserved for season ticket members with tickets in the West Side Tower. Also, a portion of the GOLD II Lot offline due to North Tunnel construction.
ADA parking will no longer be complimentary and must be purchased in advance of game day. ADA parking will not be available for purchase upon arrival on game day. Guests requiring ADA accommodations must ensure their designation is clearly reflected on their vehicle hang tag or license plate to indicate eligibility.
The entry process has also been updated for the 2026 season as the security screening and ticket scanning will take place before fans enter the Halo, the secured perimeter surrounding Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.
A valid game ticket is required to enter the Halo. Once inside, fans may move between the Halo and Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. Please note that reentry is strictly prohibited; once the Halo perimeter is exited, readmission using the same ticket will not be permitted.
The Northeast entrance near Gate D, Entry 3 has a new gate installed for ticketing and Gate C is currently offline due to North Tunnel Construction.
