## Event-Day Parking at Cartier Field in Portage Township

Cartier Field is at 18170 Courtney Lane in Portage Township, near South Bend. The university says gameday lots open at 8 a.m. ET, except Gold Lot, which opens at 10 a.m. ET for 3:30 p.m. games (hospitality.nd.edu).

Oversized vehicles have separate requirements: Fighting Irish says all oversized vehicles must pay and park in the RV or Bus parking lots (fightingirish.com). Accessible parking is reserved in the Joyce and Stadium Lots, according to the same gameday guidance (fightingirish.com). These rules make vehicle size and permit eligibility important before a football arrival.

## Named Parking Alternatives Near Cartier

Nearby Parksy listings include a valet parking lot 1.9 mi from the venue at $10 an hour, a commercial lot 1.9 mi away at $7 an hour, and a commercial garage 2.0 mi away at $4 an hour. The three options provide different tradeoffs between staffed valet service, open-lot parking, and covered garage parking.

The venue guidance identifies the Joyce and Stadium Lots for reserved accessible parking and the RV or Bus parking lots for oversized vehicles (fightingirish.com). Notre Dame Hospitality also identifies Gold Lot separately because its opening time differs for 3:30 p.m. games (hospitality.nd.edu). Drivers using those university facilities need a University-issued parking pass (hospitality.nd.edu).

## Street Restrictions Around 18170 Courtney Lane

Football gameday parking at the university operates through designated lots rather than unrestricted curb parking. Notre Dame Hospitality states that all lots require a University-issued parking pass (hospitality.nd.edu), while Fighting Irish directs oversized vehicles to RV or Bus parking lots (fightingirish.com).

Accessible parking is reserved in the Joyce and Stadium Lots (fightingirish.com). The published gameday guidance also sets separate opening arrangements for Gold Lot, which opens at 10 a.m. ET for 3:30 p.m. games, while other lots open at 8 a.m. ET (hospitality.nd.edu). Those venue controls make a reserved facility the practical choice for event arrivals instead of relying on street space near Courtney Lane.

## Parksy Spaces Within Driving Distance of Cartier

The closest listed Parksy spaces are 0.4 mi from the venue, but their prices are not included here. Priced options begin farther out: a valet parking lot in South Bend is 1.9 mi away at $10 an hour, and a lot parking space at the same distance costs $7 an hour.

A secure commercial garage is 2.0 mi away and costs $4 an hour. The Parksy listings describe these as valet, lot, and commercial garage spaces, giving drivers a choice between service, outdoor parking, and a secured structure.

## Walking and Rail Access Near Cartier Field

Cartier Field is 1.5 mi from South Bend center and sits in Portage Township near South Bend.

Notre Dame Hospitality says gameday lots open at 8 a.m. ET, with Gold Lot opening at 10 a.m. ET for 3:30 p.m. games (hospitality.nd.edu). Fighting Irish places accessible parking in the Joyce and Stadium Lots and oversized vehicles in RV or Bus parking lots (fightingirish.com).
