Tailgating will begin at 4:30 p.m., on Thursday, Sept. 27. The stadium gates will open at 6 p.m. 

East Lindsey Street

The portion of East Lindsey Street that extends from the corner of Bessemer Avenue to the corner of Sullivan Street will be closed at 5:30 p.m. This is considered a portion of the A&T Game Zone. Those wishing to enter East Lindsey Street at this time must have a game ticket.

General Classroom Building Parking

North Carolina A&T Athletics is aware of the opening production at Paul Robeson Theater Thursday night, and therefore want to assure attendees to this event have access to parking. The General Classroom Building parking lot will be open to those wanting to attend the production. There will also be space available in the Memorial Student Union parking lot.

Aggie Stadium parking will be closed Wednesday night at 7 p.m. Parking at the stadium will not reopen until 4:30 p.m., for tailgaters, staff and VIPs. Arrangements will be made for permitted drivers only.

Craig Hall Parking

Craig Hall parking should remain unaffected by Thursday's festivities. The reserved parking spaces in this lot should only be occupied by permitted drivers.

Marteena Parking

On a normal Saturday game day, the Marteena parking lot is used for the media and our guests from the opposing school. However, on weeknights this lot is usually full. Therefore, those who normally park in the Marteena lot will use the Laurel Street parking lot on Thursday, Sept. 27. In addition, there will be no game day tailgating in the Laurel Street parking lot for the Morgan State contest.
