In preparation for South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State's football home opener Saturday, Sept. 7, a few changes are being implemented for games this season at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. 

Five self-serve kiosks have been added to the stadium concourses, two of which will offer beer sales. Fans must be at least 21 years of age to enter the self-serve beer kiosks, which will be monitored by game day staff. 

Wristbands are required to consume alcohol both inside the stadium and in designated tailgating areas adjacent to Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. Wristbands can be obtained by presenting a valid ID at stations surrounding the stadium, as well as concourses inside the venue. Fans purchasing alcohol inside the stadium must again present proper identification at their first purchase point, at which they will receive a stamp. 

In-venue beer sales begin one hour prior to kickoff and conclude at the end of the third quarter. 

Due to an increase in Jackrabbit Club membership, parking lots near Briggs Library and the campus greenhouse south and west of Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium are now reserved exclusively for Jackrabbit Club members who qualify for that benefit. Jackrabbit Club members planning to park in those lots should enter from the west as the section of North Campus Drive that runs directly south of the stadium will be closed five hours prior to kickoff. 

All parking lots and tailgating areas open five hours prior to scheduled kickoff. Additional pay lots are located south and east of Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium (). 

With capacity crowds anticipated throughout the season, fans can expect delays upward of 30-45 minutes when exiting parking areas surrounding the stadium. To aid with traffic flow, restrictions for traffic coming on to campus via Medary and 22nd avenues will be in place from the start of the fourth quarter through the egress process. 

University Boulevard, which runs from 22nd Avenue west to First Bank & Trust Arena, is expected to open in time for Saturday's game after being under construction throughout the summer.
