Guest PARKING and shuttle

K-State is building a parking garage south of the K-State Student Union to create 1,400 new spaces for our visitors and students.

As a result, a shuttle runs from the east side of Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium to the K-State Student Union, where our special events are located. To allow enough time for parking and a shuttle ride, please plan a few extra minutes in your schedule when arriving for your visit.

Where to park

You will park at Gate 8 near the south side of the lot just off Kimball Avenue. A shuttle will pick you up at a kiosk located east of the parking lot, near the Peters Recreation Complex.

The shuttle runs every 15 minutes from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will drop you off at the Bosco Student Plaza in front of the K-State Student Union. This location is also where you will meet the shuttle at the end of the day.
