Event-Day Parking at Caledonian Stadium on Stadium Road
The venue has chargeable on-site parking for supporters who drive to matches (ictfc.com). The approach is straightforward from the A9: take the third exit, then continue along Stadium Road until the stadium and away car park come into view (ictfc.com). Away supporters are directed to the South Car Park, where car parking is available for £5 per car (perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk).
The ground sits just off the A9 near the Kessock Bridge, making that route useful for visitors arriving from outside Inverness (ictfc.com). The venue’s published guidance does not give a parking capacity or pre-booking arrangement, so the practical choice is to arrive early and follow the signed home or away-car-park approach.
Parksy Spaces Within a Mile of the Stadium
Parksy lists four priced spaces 1.0 mile from the venue. The two Palace options are separately listed, giving drivers a choice of spaces at the same hourly rate.
Two further priced spaces sit 1.1 miles away: a 24/7 hotel space at Marriott Inverness at £0.45 an hour and a Pentahotel space at £0.92 an hour. A 1.0-mile walk typically takes longer than the direct route from the venue car parks, so these spaces suit drivers who prefer to leave the car outside the immediate match-day area. The listings show 24/7 access for the Highland Apartments, Marriott Inverness and Pentahotel options, while the general Inverness driveway listing has no access hours shown.
Stadium Road Restrictions and Match-Day Traffic
Stadium Road is the final approach to the ground after the third exit from the A9, and the club directs drivers to continue along it to the stadium and away car park (ictfc.com). Home and visiting supporters use separate car parks alongside the ground, with the South Car Park identified for away supporters (perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk).
The club’s directions warn of delays of up to 15 minutes on the A9, particularly around the route towards the Kessock Bridge (ictfc.com). The published guidance does not set out a separate match-day street-parking scheme or list road-closure times. On-site spaces are chargeable, and the away-car-park instruction applies to visiting supporters rather than being a general street-parking arrangement (ictfc.com; perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk).
South Car Park and Other Named Choices Near Inverness
The South Car Park is the named alternative for away supporters and charges £5 for cars on the fixture information published by St Johnstone (perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk). It is alongside the ground rather than a remote park-and-ride, so it is the most direct named option for visitors attending as the away side. The club’s directions also refer to an away car park reached along Stadium Road after the third A9 exit (ictfc.com).
For drivers who would rather leave the car away from the stadium, the Parksy listings provide priced hotel and private spaces in Inverness, including the Best Western Palace, Marriott Inverness, Highland Apartments and Pentahotel. The listed rates are £0.45 an hour and £0.92 an hour, depending on the space. No named council car park or park-and-ride rate is provided in the local venue guidance, so the South Car Park remains the clearly identified match-day alternative in the published information.
Walking From Inverness Railway Station to the Stadium
Inverness railway station is the nearest station, at 1.0 mile from the venue and a 21-minute walk. That makes rail practical for supporters who want to avoid the A9 approach and the chargeable stadium parking. From the station, allow the full published 21 minutes for the walk rather than treating the station as immediately beside the ground.
The stadium address is Stadium Road, Longman, Inverness, IV1 1FF. The ground is near the banks of the Moray Firth and just off the A9 near the Kessock Bridge (wikipedia.org; ictfc.com). Drivers meeting rail passengers can use the station as a clear Inverness landmark, while supporters travelling on foot should plan for the 1.0-mile route between the station and the venue.
