CRIMSON LOTSReserve a spot →IU vs Northwestern Parking: Friday Night at Memorial Stadium (Sept 25, 2026)
This one is different. IU hosts Northwestern on Friday, September 25 with an 8:00 PM kickoff, which means game traffic collides head on with Bloomington rush hour, IU students finishing classes, and everyone in town heading to dinner. Friday night games are the hardest parking puzzle of the season, and this is a sellout crowd under the lights.
Crimson Lots makes it simple for $75. Your pass reserves your spot in our private lot north of the stadium, with an on-demand ride to your gate and a pickup after the game included, free. Walkable too, if you'd rather. We text the exact address and arrival instructions during game week. You drive in, park your own car, keep your keys, and ride to your gate while everyone else is still circling.
For an 8:00 PM Friday kick, we strongly recommend arriving by 6:15 PM to beat the rush hour overlap. Only 15 passes are available for this game, and Friday night demand will not wait. Reserve your spot for the only weeknight game of the year.
Good to know

- Where will I park, and how does the ride work? In our private lot north of the stadium. Your pass includes an on-demand ride to your gate and a pickup after the game: text us whenever you're ready and we drive you over, text us after the game and we come pick you up wherever you are. Walkable too, if you'd rather. Your exact address is texted during game week. Rides are first come first served, so wait times are not guaranteed.
- How do I get back to my car after a night game? Text us and we come pick you up wherever you are, free, included with your pass. Walkable too, if you'd rather.
