WSU Athletics strongly suggests purchasing contactless tickets prior to the game. The Warrior Box Office accepts Visa and Master Card. The Wayne State Fieldhouse Box Office and Will Call will open two hours before the game. Doors open 60 minutes before the game at Wayne State Fieldhouse.

Parking is free in Lot 50 on gamedays. Lot 50 opens two hours prior to the game. Please limit one parking space per vehicle.
