About Yale Bowl Parking Lots

Welcome to the Yale Bowl Parking Lots, the home turf of the Yale Bulldogs since 1914. This National Historic Landmark sits on the Yale University campus in New Haven, CT, with a rich history from big football crowds to iconic events. Whether you’re catching the Yale game, a special event, or a historic matchup, we’ve got practical details to make your visit smooth—from parking and transit to nearby hotels and dining options.

Capacity at the Yale Bowl is 61,446 (2006–present), following renovations that reduced the size from 70,869. The field itself is named Class of 1954 Field. For game day logistics, expect shuttles, ADA parking, and multiple parking lots to choose from as you arrive around campus and the stadium vicinity.

When you’re planning, consider transit on public bus 255 serving the Yale Bowl area, and pre-purchase or day-of-parking options in Lot A (visiting fans), Lot B (ADA), Lot D, Lot F, F-Special, Lot H, and Lot YUAD. For lodging, affiliate recommendations nearby include Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale, Graduate New Haven, and Courtyard by Marriott New Haven at Yale. For meals and casual bites, the area around Temple Street, Whalley Avenue, and campus-adjacent spots offer reliable options. We’ve got you with transparent details and non-pushy guidance to secure your seats and plan a smooth trip to the Yale Bowl.
