Parking
The free portion of the JAC is no longer available for gameday parking. Fans without a season-long parking pass can purchase single-game parking via the Clutch App. The off-campus shuttle system has been expanded to efficiently service three off-campus gameday lots, including the addition of off-campus parking dedicated exclusively for ADA parking. Rideshare and taxi pickup and dropoff locations have been combined and expanded to four locations: JAC, Ford Center Loop, Kudzu lot (off Old Taylor Road) and Insight Park Loop.

Change in Walk of Champions/Fan Path from Grove
Due to the ongoing construction of Ole Miss’ ground-breaking Duff Center for Science and Technology Innovation on All-American Drive, the walkway between Shoemaker Hall and Faser Hall will be closed for the 2023 football season. As a result, fans accustomed to using that path from The Grove to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium will need to plan an alternate way, while the Walk of Champions will also take a new route on gameday.
The team’s amended route for 2023, instead of diverting after the Grove Pavilion, will continue diagonally through The Grove before turning right between the Thad Cochran Research Center and Coulter Hall. Then, the Walk will continue back down All-American Drive, through the Lloyd Bell Tower and into the stadium. Please be advised of the new route and that fans will not be able to cross over that path while the Walk of Champions is taking place.
Stripe The Vaught
For the second consecutive season, Ole Miss fans will Stripe the Vaught, this time in red and powder blue. Visit StripeTheVaught.com to see which color to wear based on your section.
Hydration Stations
