Grove Primer: Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt

OXFORD, Miss. – (Release) Lane Kiffin and the No. 11 Ole Miss football team are riding a three-game winning streak into their next Southeastern Conference matchup this weekend against Vanderbilt. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CT on homecoming weekend at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

The Rebels are riding high after home wins over No. 12 LSU and Arkansas, followed by the first night win at Auburn in program history last Saturday. They’ll look to keep that momentum going as they aim for their fourth SEC win in a row.

Tickets
Single-game ticket options remain for Saturday’s game. Please download your tickets and parking prior to arriving to campus to ensure quick entry to campus and the stadium. For more ticket information, please visit OleMissTix.com. Gates open at 4:30 p.m.

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. See the 2023 parking map below, and head to OleMissGameday.com for full parking policies.

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.

Homecoming at the Vaught
Homecoming festivities will take place at halftime with a show featuring the Pride of the South Marching Band and the 2023 Homecoming Court.
