DeLAND, Fla. — Great news for Hatter fans! Starting with the 2025 football season, all general public parking around Spec Martin Memorial Stadium will be completely free—making it easier than ever to support Stetson Athletics.
As part of efforts to enhance affordability and strengthen community ties, Stetson Athletics is waiving all parking fees for athletic events throughout the 2025–26 season. Reserved parking in priority locations will still be available for donors and select supporters of specific sports.
"The spirit of DeLand is rooted in inclusivity, and we want to ensure that everyone feels welcome at our athletic events," said Ricky Ray, Stetson's Director of Athletics. "Community focus and campus engagement are key values for our new head football coach, Mike Jasper, and this initiative supports his commitment to making game day a truly accessible experience for all."
Get to the stadium early and join the fun! Tailgating, fan traditions, and game day festivities kick off up to four hours before kickoff. Whether you're a long-time Hatter or a first-time visitor, you'll find the energy and excitement of Stetson game days unforgettable.
Additional gameday activities inside Spec Martin Stadium are being planned for the upcoming season with more information to come soon.
Tickets start at just $12, with group packages and premium seating options also available.
