Gates open about two hours before kickoff at most of these stadiums, and doors an hour before an arena fills. That is when you can get in, not when to leave. Pick your venue and work backward from the start through the gate, the walk in, parking, and the drive. You can add a tailgate where the lots allow it, or take transit where a rail line reaches the venue.

Each page asks when the game starts, how you’re getting there, and, where the lots allow one, how long you want to tailgate. Those answers fill a plan ending in your seat. Tap any duration and the chain recomputes backward.
Football kickoff windows are published in Eastern Time. An NFL early-window game is 1:00 in New Jersey, noon in Green Bay, and 10:00 AM in Santa Clara; a college noon game is 11:00 AM in Tuscaloosa. MLS clubs and NHL and NBA teams set their own local start times instead. Each page shows the local clock.
