Walking directions
Walk times are estimates based on an average adult walking pace from the listed entrance. Actual times vary with your gate, game day crowd flow, and street closures. Google Maps may choose a different gate or omit private indoor connections; follow the listed route notes and venue access rules for onsite hotels.
Walking from your hotel to the gates
Through campus
Kenan sits in a wooded bowl inside campus, so every approach is a campus path rather than a road. Stadium Drive closes to vehicles on gameday.
