| Rideshare zone | A designated drop-off and pick-up zone for rideshare services is located in the East Parking Lot of America First Field. |
| Re-entry | In accordance with America First Field security procedures, guests are not permitted to exit and re-enter the stadium using the same ticket, and there are no exceptions to this policy. |

Public street parking is permitted in designated areas around the stadium, but adjacent neighborhoods are typically permit-only on event days. Shuttle buses are available from Sandy City Hall and the Mountain America Expo Center. |
Parking
Pre-purchasing parking is highly recommended for major events. ADA accessible parking spaces are available in the West, South, and East parking lots on a first-come, first-served basis, requiring an ADA placard or license plate and a parking pass. Electric vehicle parking is available in the West Lot. Some parking may be available for sale on gamedays at the 90th Parking Lot and Jordan Commons, both of which are card-only.
