RENEWAL DEADLINE: May 1, 2026

Massachusetts Athletics appreciates your support as a season ticket member. Your commitment plays a vital role in the success of our student-athletes. Purchasing season tickets and attending games plays an important role in the experience of our student-athletes. Every person wearing maroon and white with pride at McGuirk Alumni Stadium on gameday makes a difference.

As the landscape of college athletics continues to evolve, increased scholarship support is essential for UMass to remain competitive. The Minutemen Club has established the Script U Scholarship Society, a fundraising initiative created to support the growing investment Massachusetts Athletics is making in our 21 sport programs. Each Script U gift provides passionate UMass alumni and fans with the opportunity to help meet the full annual scholarship cost and enhance the overall student-athlete experience.

Donors to the Script U Scholarship Society directly support student-athlete scholarships and provide critical resources to recruit, retain, and develop exceptional individuals from across our region, the country, and around the world. Every tax-deductible gift is an investment in our student-athletes and the future of academic and competitive success for UMass Athletics.

Fans can take advantage of this convenient option during the online checkout process to spread payments over time and plan ahead for the upcoming season.

UMass Minuteman Marching Band - In-Game Location Update

For the 2026 season, the UMass Minuteman Marching Band will move from Section 8 to Section 18. The new location offers better sightlines and improved sound toward the home sideline (Sections 1-10), creating a stronger presence during in-game moments. The marching band's halftime performance will remain unchanged and will continue to be oriented toward the home sideline.

GAMEDAY PARKING OPTIONS

Lots 22 and 33 will no longer function as a combined parking space in 2026.

For the 2026 season, Parking Lots 22 and 33 will be separated to enhance overall parking operations and fan convenience. Season ticket members who purchase parking on the season basis will enjoy the added benefit of a guaranteed Lot 22 parking pass, providing a consistent and convenient parking experience all season long.
Script U Scholarship Society Donor Parking

All parking passes are subject to one per four season tickets. Script U members may purchase additional season passes for $60 each.

Parking is allocated first by Script U Scholarship Society level and then total Minutemen Club points. Donors will be able to renew their parking pass in their current lot if they maintain their required Script U Society Scholarship level. For new parking requests, meeting the minimum required donor level does not guarantee eligibility for 2026-27 as lot inventory can fluctuate based on demand and individual giving.

Non-Donor Parking/Season Ticket Member

All parking passes are subject to one per four season tickets. Season ticket member season parking passes will be available for purchase for $60 in Lot 22, Lot 14 (RV Lot), or ADA Lot.

STM Early Parking Access

Season ticket members that have parking passes for Lot 11, Stadium Drive, and the South Stadium Loop will have exclusive access to tailgating 30 minutes prior to all other patrons. Season ticket members who have parking in Lot 11 or Stadium Drive will be able to access their parking lots 4 hours and 30 minutes prior to kickoff. Pass will have access to their respective lots 4 hours prior to kickoff. 

Single Game Parking

Single game parking passes will be available for purchase in Lot 22, Lot 33, Lot 14 (RV Lot), or ADA Lot. During the 2025 season, single-game parking was priced at $17 when purchased in advance and $27 on gameday. 2026 single-game parking pricing will be announced at a later date. Season ticket members should strongly consider purchasing a season-long parking pass, which offers significant savings compared to paying on a per-game basis. The 2025 season parking pass averaged $10 per game based on a 6-game home schedule.

In the event of inclement weather, UMass Athletics reserves the right to relocate your parking to an alternate lot.
