Fans are urged to arrive early. Parking lots at Sam Boyd Stadium open at 3 p.m., four hours before kickoff. With construction at the intersection of Russell Road and Boulder Highway forcing traffic into one lane, the best access will be from Tropicana Avenue. However, alternate routes are available. From Green Valley, fans can take Boulder Highway and turn right on Gibson Road, which will take traffic to Broadbent Road and into the stadium.
Fans also can enter east of the stadium.
Take Sunset across Boulder, turn left onto Burns and left onto Wiesner Road, which leads behind Sam Boyd.

I've never been close.
