Where is the stadium, and how should you approach it?
Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is on Taylor Avenue, with the published approach from U.S. Route 50 directing drivers to the Blue Parking Lot.
Take Exit 24 for Rowe Boulevard, then turn right at the second stoplight onto Taylor Avenue. Follow the signs to the Blue Parking Lot. Allow time to follow event-day directions and parking instructions, which may differ by event.
The stadium seats 34,000 fans. It was built for the 1959 season and underwent a major renovation beginning in 2002. Its event calendar includes football, lacrosse and sprint football, so check the event’s entry and parking details as part of your arrival planning.
What parking is available on event day?
Stadium parking is subject to event-specific rules, and you should confirm availability and payment details with Navy Athletics before you go.
Navy Athletics says Blue and Gold stadium parking is not sold on game day. Season parking passes are available to season-ticket holders who are members of Blue-N*Gold; the price for a regular-sized vehicle is $200. Because parking policies and prices can change, check the official site before you go.
Off-site parking garages include Bladen Street Garage at Bladen and Calvert streets, Gotts Court Parking Garage at 250 Northwest Avenue, Park Place Garage at West Street and Taylor Avenue, and Whitmore Parking Garage at 37 Clay Street. Confirm event-day access and arrangements for any garage you plan to use.
Tailgating is allowed only on stadium property. Small gas grills are permitted, while tents larger than 10 by 10 feet are allowed only on the stadium perimeter and in the NavyFest area. Follow the event’s posted rules rather than assuming that an available parking space can be used for tailgating.

How can you plan accessible parking and drop-off?

USNA Transportation says a stadium shuttle operates during most major events when parking on the Yard is restricted.
Its pickup point is near the Blue Angel plane on the stadium’s west side, and service usually runs every 20–30 minutes about 30 minutes before and after an event. Confirm whether the shuttle is operating for your event and where to board.
What should you plan for after the event?
Decide where you will meet your group and how you will return to your car before the event ends.
If you use the USNA Transportation shuttle, note that its pickup is near the Blue Angel plane on the stadium’s west side.
If you park in an off-site garage, keep its address handy so you can head back to the correct location. For a broader look at getting around the city, the guide to downtown Annapolis and local transport covers nearby area logistics.
