Bloomington, Indiana – As Indiana Football gets ready to welcome a sold-out crowd and No. 5/5 Ohio State Saturday at Memorial Stadium, stadium gates will open at 5:30 p.m., two hours in advance of the scheduled 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
Gates will open earlier than the traditional 90-minute mark to provide spectators with the opportunity to avoid long lines when entering the stadium. All IU Athletics campus parking lots (including the grass lots south of 17th Street) will open at 12 p.m.
The adjustment is part of IU Athletics' ongoing efforts to encourage fans to plan ahead, leave home early, and enter Memorial Stadium early throughout the 2021 season to minimize traffic congestion and reduce lines at the stadium's entry points.
