Paycor Stadium has seven entry gates, which open 90 minutes before kickoff. Bags must be clear and no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a one-gallon clear freezer bag, plus a clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5. The CRG garage lots open six hours before kickoff, but Lot 1 and Lot A have less space in 2026 because of bridge work. The Connector streetcar links downtown, Over-the-Rhine and The Banks.
