About Dix Stadium Parking Lots

Welcome to Dix Stadium, the 25,319-capacity home of the Kent State Golden Flashes. Located at 2213 Summit Rd in Kent, Ohio, this stadium hosts football, soccer, and lacrosse events, along with notable football and high school playoff games. Our guide helps you secure your seats, find convenient parking, and plan a smooth trip with transit options and nearby lodging and dining.

Whether you’re a local, student, or visiting fan, we’ve got you covered with practical details and insider tips to make game day easy and enjoyable.

Seating is organized across West and East stands with dedicated student sections. The official Dix Stadium Seating and Parking Map outlines exact arrangements and ADA seating options. Parking is available in the West Lot and East Lot, with passes or cash options, and parking tends to open about three hours before kickoff. For many events, a game-day shuttle operates from Summit Street lots to the stadium. If you’re traveling with a group or arriving by bus, plan ahead using the official parking guidance and shuttle routes.

Beyond the stadium, nearby hotels and dining options help you complete a convenient game day. The Kent State University Hotel & Conference Center, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kent, and Days Inn Kent–Akron area offer comfortable stays close to the campus. A short list of recommended nearby restaurants provides quick bites and sit-down meals so you can fuel up before kickoff.

For performers and events that draw large crowds, Dix Stadium’s history includes hosting the 2001 NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship and numerous high school playoff games, adding to its legacy as a versatile athletics venue. The facility has not been demolished and was renamed Dix Stadium in 1973, building on its Memorial Stadium roots from 1969–1973.
