Ryan Field – Northwestern University

Ryan Field is Northwestern University's new 35,000-seat stadium on Central Street in north Evanston, home to Wildcats football and a growing calendar of concerts and community events. Built with the neighborhood in mind, the stadium sits two blocks from the Central Street Metra and CTA stations, and most guests will find the train, a shuttle, or a bike gets them to the gates faster than a car. For guests who do drive, OVG Parking manages every on-site lot, with staff at each entrance on event days to get you parked and on your way to the game.

On-site parking is organized into five lots. The West Lot is divided into the Purple, White, and Platinum lots, and the East Lot and Isabella Lot sit on the opposite side of the stadium. Each lot has a reserved section, where your space is assigned, and a general section, where you park anywhere within the lot. Accessible parking is located in the Purple Lot for guests with a state-issued disability placard or plate. All on-site parking is sold in advance, so buy your pass before you leave home; once you do, you will receive directions to your lot and entry instructions routed from wherever you are coming from. There is no drive-up parking on event days and no event parking on neighborhood streets. Oversized vehicles, including RVs, buses, and trailers, are not permitted in any lot. Guests parking off site can ride free shuttles from Northwestern campus and downtown Evanston garages, and free bike valet is available just north of the stadium.
