The changes at Kroger Field include Farm Road and sections of the Orange Lot, which are under construction. According to UK Athletics, this means the area will be inaccessible to traffic during the season, and tailgating space will be limited in the Orange Lot due to the construction work.
UK Athletics says that the non-reserved disabled lot has been relocated to the William T. Young Library lots at the corner of Woodland Avenue and Columbia Avenue. A shuttle will be available for pick up and drop off at Gate 4 of Kroger Field.
According to the release, the changes also include bus parking, which has been moved to two different locations: the main one on University Drive and the secondary one on Stadium View Drive in the Barnhart Family Athletic Complex.
UK's home schedule will include the following:
- Aug. 31- Southern Miss at 7:45 p.m./ SEC Network
- Sept. 7- South Carolina at 3:30 p.m./ ABC
