SPRINGFIELD – As the 2025 college football season approaches, Missouri State has implemented some key changes related to game-day parking for all fans as well as student pregame tailgating.
 
Foremost among the parking changes this fall will be access to premium game-day parking lots and garages along the Grand Street corridor. Those areas – specifically Lots 18, 19 and 22 and BearPark South garage – will be accessible to Bears Fund members and season ticket holders with a season parking pass. For vehicles without a parking pass, single-game parking passes may be purchased/reserved in advance or with cash purchases at lot entries on game day ($10 per vehicle in Lot 19 and BearPark South and $20 per vehicle in Lots 18 and 22). Single-game parking is based on availability.
 
Except areas reserved for residence life, all other campus parking lots and BearPark North parking garage, remain free on game days. See the parking map below for a visual reference point of the impacted areas.
 
In an effort to provide more space for the growing student tailgating population, the student tailgating area will move to Lot 24 at the corner of Grand and National. Student reservations will remain free and are open to students and student organizations. Student tailgate space can be reserved HERE. Student tailgating space is limited and reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.

Fans wishing to reserve tailgate space within the traditional BearFest Village footprint can do so HERE. BearFest Village tailgating has not changed from previous seasons, except for the aforementioned student group location.
