Stadium Policies

TIAA Bank Field

TIAA Bank Field is a world-class multi-purpose stadium located on the banks of the St. Johns River in downtown Jacksonville. Recently undergoing renovations in both 2014 and 2016, the stadium experience at TIAA Bank Field has been rated among the best in major sporting events.

We are excited to host the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl at this premier venue and hope to make your game experience an unforgettable one! Parking Lots open at 2:00 p.m. on January 2nd. Tailgating is not only permitted but encouraged!

Clear Bag Policy

To provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite fan entry into TIAA Bank Field, the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl will limit the size and type of bag that may be brought into the stadium. We strongly encourage fans to not bring any type of bags but outline what is permissible. Fans will be able to carry the following style and size bag, package, or container at stadium plaza areas, stadium gates, or when approaching queue lines of fans awaiting entry into the stadium:

  • Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12.”
  • One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).
  • Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap, may be carried into the stadium along with one of the clear bag options.

Prohibited bags may be stored for a nominal fee in the Atlantic Self Storage Fan Lockers located outside of Gate 1 on the corner of Lot J and Bay Street! For more information, visit www.jaxlockers.com

Keys, loose change and watches can remain in your pockets or on your person.
