Kentucky Football Tailgaters are Losing a Parking Garage in 2026

Kentucky football fans attending games at Kroger Field will soon have to adjust to a new reality as a parking garage is set to be replaced by 2026 due to the expansion of the nearby Albert B. Chandler Hospital. This change comes as part of a larger construction project that aims to add around 1,400 more hospital beds, necessitating the relocation of the parking facility. While this development may inconvenience some fans during tailgating events, it underscores the hospital's need for expansion to meet growing healthcare demands in the region.
