As the No. 5 Holy Cross football team hits the gridiron in search of its fifth consecutive Patriot League title, Holy Cross Athletics has announced enhancements and changes to the game day experience at Fitton Field in 2023.

Your pre-purchased tickets will arrive in a confirmation/receipt email. All tickets for your event/season will be contained in one email.

From the receipt email, you will have the option to either print your tickets or download them to your smartphone’s digital wallet. Digital tickets may be used on any type of smartphone.

We recommend downloading tickets to your smartphone as soon as you receive them to avoid any connectivity issues at the stadium.

Day-of-game ticket sales are cashless.

Full Digital Ticketing Info

Parking lots open four hours prior to kickoff. Parking at Freshman Field Lot, Garage Lot and West Lot is available on both a single-game and season-long basis and can be purchased in advance or on game day. We encourage purchasing a parking pass in advance as lots tend to fill up quickly and sold numerous times last season.

All lots are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Premier (Baseball) Lot parking is only available for purchase as a season-long pass. Availability is limited and requires a President’s Council membership and season tickets.

As a reminder, all day of game parking is cashless. Credit cards will be accepted at the entrance point of Freshman Field Lot parking, Garage Lot parking, and West Lot parking.

Alcohol is available for purchase at five locations across the stadium. Fans can purchase non-alcoholic beverages, including water and Pepsi products, at all beverage stands around the stadium. Fans of legal drinking age with valid ID will be able to purchase one alcoholic beverage per person per transaction in accordance with City of Worcester regulations.

Fans will be required to visit an in-venue ID check location before purchasing alcoholic beverages, after which visitors of legal drinking age will be provided with a wristband.

Ernie Floyd ’84 from Unity Radio FM will continue to DJ live at Freshman Field during the pregame tailgate.

In stadium audio speakers have been relocated above the home sideline seating area in an effort to improve sound distribution for all fans in attendance. Additional speakers have been installed in an effort to ensure that sound is being allocated across the entirety of the stadium.

Programs can be accessed digitally by visiting goholycross.com/programs on the day of the game or by using one of the many QR codes throughout the stadium. Fans who would like to print their own roster sheet for the game can access a PDF version online.
