Parking kind of depends on what you are willing to spend / what kind of walk you’re up for. $45 is the highest I’ve seen and that will get you within half a block of the stadium…. Farther you get out it reduces to $20, $15, etc. If you want to find a free spot … probably walking about a mile. My favorite spot is on University Pkwy just west of the Chevron (at an old bank). It’s $45 (they take Venmo), but you get right out after and it’s pretty much across the street from stadium. You’re paying for a traffic free exit after game.

There’s a field on the south side of stadium that has big blow up slides, bounce house type stuff, a big screen with other games on, etc. More a space for younger kids. But not bad area to walk around in pre game… usually Cosmo / cheerleaders, etc roaming around. Could throw around a football in that area too.

Directly west of the stadium (right outside it) is where they do the pre-game show and you’ve got food trucks and a bunch of other stuff going on with the street blocked off.

Lots of food options in the stadium as well.. but pretty much NO WHERE to sit (they need to fix this and add tables / stools all around under the stadium). So, if you eat at stadium, you might be standing around awkwardly or taking food to your seats.

I’d get there at least an hour before kick off depending on how far out you park and if you’re grabbing food / snacks. 90 minutes early is usually what I do… gives plenty of time time get a drink and a dog and not feel rushed.

Hope that helps!
