CASHLESS CONCESSIONS

In an effort to speed concessions lines on gameday, Maryland concession stands will be transitioning to cashless payments for the 2022 season. While each stand at SECU Stadium will offer at least one point-of-sale window that will still accept cash, the large majority of concessions windows will only accept debit/credit. Additionally, all Terrapin Team Shop locations, with the exception of the Under Armour store behind Section 21, will also be cashless. All fans are encouraged to plan accordingly!

Digital Ticketing

We have gone 100% digital. You will now be able to fully manage your tickets from the convenience of your phone, including easily sending your tickets to friends. Additionally, you will no longer have to worry about forgetting your tickets at home or losing them. Mobile Ticketing FAQ

IT'S TIME TO REPRESENT

This place is just different. You know it, our student-athletes know it, and Coach Locksley -- a proud D.C, native -- certainly knows it. Maryland Football is proud to represent the state of Maryland, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and all areas and individuals in between. More than anything, the Terps are proud to represent YOU! Perhaps Stefon Diggs and Rakim Jarrett said it best, "This is Where We Belong." We're honored to wear the Maryland colors each and every day, and we hope you're excited to represent us this fall in College Park.

This is where we belong

Traffic Pattern and Parking Lot Updates

AAs you return to campus, you will notice several University construction projects have recently been completed, while others are still progressing towards completion. One of the projects under current construction includes preparation for the Purple Line. As you enter campus, please pardon our dust as some projects are under active construction. For parking pass holders, please follow the recommended route and entrance guidelines printed on the back of your parking pass for the best route to access your parking space. New traffic patterns may have been instituted since your last visit to campus, so pay careful attention to the recommended route. Only parking passes for lots Z, SDG, or YC will be allowed to enter campus at the Stadium Drive Garage entrance to access their parking lots on game days.

Video Board

Maryland debuted the largest video board in the Big Ten, and one of the largest in the nation last season. The 120 foot-by-54-foot display in the West end zone (adjacent to the Stadium Drive garage) is six times larger than the previous board. The 28x30 board at the other end of the field has been significantly upgraded as well. Both displays are in full HD 1080p, with a pixel pitch (the space between LED bulbs) reduced from 25 millimeters to 10 millimeters to drastically improve clarity.
