Purdue
Ross-Ade Stadium · West Lafayette, IN
Saturday in West Lafayette is Boilermaker Crossing, the team walk on Tiller Drive, and Ross-Ade Stadium. Keep the setup behind the vehicle, and plan on propane.
Must see / do
Around campus
- The Ross-Ade ring, lots like R, K, H, and F plus south W and O, mixes grass and pavement. Friday games open on staggered clocks.
- The Purdue Mall and the Bell Tower are the campus photo walk. Chauncey Village and downtown West Lafayette are optional food-strip color before kick.
Before the game
- The team walk is on Tiller Drive and the north plaza about 2:15 before kick, on the 2026 Ross-Ade updates. Plant early.
- Boilermaker Crossing and Weist Plaza open about 3 hours before kick, and that’s when the shuttle starts. Friday games use different lot clocks, so read the 2026 Ross-Ade updates instead of a Saturday habit.
On the lot
- Lots open 8 hours before kick, and not before 8:00 a.m. The setup stays behind the vehicle. Propane only, no charcoal, and kegs are banned. Tent rules change with weather and wind on the policy page.
- The parking maps are interactive lot pages. Grills, tents, and hours are in the overview.
