Cajun Field parking depends on the game and its current parking plan, so check the event’s official instructions before choosing a lot. Cajun Field is home to the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football team in Lafayette, Louisiana.
- From this hotel in Scott, Cajun Field is about a 7-minute drive by car.
- Campus parking at Cajun Field requires a current University parking permit.
- The football game-day shuttle begins four hours before kickoff and ends one hour after the game.
Check the Official Game-Day Parking Plan
The event’s official parking plan is the place to confirm which lots are available and what access rules apply. Do not assume a parking arrangement from a past game will carry over: event-specific directions can change.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette says vehicles parked on campus, including at Cajun Field, must display a current University parking permit. A commuter permit does not serve as a night-parking permit. Check the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s official site before you go, and confirm the requirements for your event.
For a fuller plan, match your parking instructions with the game’s ticket and entry details in this Cajun Field tickets and entry guide.
Know Which Lots Serve Your Event
Use only the lots and spaces named in the current instructions for your game. A past Cajundome event page said passes were required for lots around Cajun Field, while general parking was free in a grass lot across the street; that historical guidance does not confirm the arrangement for another event.
For bus directions, a University instruction document gives Cajun Field’s street address as 2351 West Congress Street and directs buses to enter the parking lot through Gate 3. If you are driving a bus, check that the instruction applies to your event before following it.
Campus geography can help you make sense of event directions: the University of Louisiana at Lafayette campus map guide covers how to read the map.
How should you plan your arrival and shuttle?
Check shuttle timing against kickoff and confirm the route information when service times are available. The university says the football game-day shuttle starts four hours before kickoff and runs until one hour after the game. Its listed route information should be checked through TripShot when shuttle times begin.
Do not treat older traffic instructions as current. A page for a past football game described a road closure before kickoff and right-turn-only parking-gate access, but those directions were event-specific and do not establish the rules for your game. Follow the current event instructions for arrival and access.
How do you drive from Scott to Cajun Field?
Plan for about a 7-minute drive from Days Inn by Wyndham Lafayette Scott to Cajun Field. Before leaving, compare your event’s parking directions with the route you intend to take, especially if the instructions specify a particular entrance or gate.
If your group is travelling by bus, use the address and Gate 3 direction only after confirming they apply to the event. For other drivers, the event’s current parking plan should determine where to enter and park.

When does the football game-day shuttle run?
The university says it begins four hours before kickoff and ends one hour after the game. Check TripShot for route information when shuttle times begin.
