Game-day guide: Lexington venues

Kroger Field — Kentucky Wildcats Football (NCAAF)

Kroger Field (61,000 seats) is a large open-air stadium in University of Kentucky campus that hosts Kentucky Wildcats Football (NCAAF) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Campus lots open on game day with permit and donor priority near the stadium; public and remote shuttle lots serve general fans. UK and Lextran game-day shuttles connect remote lots to the stadium on the south side of the Kentucky campus.

Rupp Arena — Kentucky Wildcats Men's Basketball (NCAAB)

Rupp Arena (20,500 seats) is a large indoor arena in Downtown Lexington (Central Bank Center) that hosts Kentucky Wildcats Men's Basketball (NCAAB) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. Downtown garages and surface lots surround the arena and the Central Bank Center, several within a short walk. Lextran buses serve downtown Lexington with stops near the arena.
