Tickets
What tickets actually cost you in planning
Evergreen demand patterns, not a live price feed. Verify current inventory at the source before you book travel.
- This is the best value stop in the conference for visiting fans; allotments are large and secondary prices stay soft.
- Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State weekends are the exception and price like road-fan takeovers.
- Lot 1 opens about four hours out and is where most visiting groups land.
Where to sit
Sideline seats on the west side get afternoon shade. The lower corners are the best price-to-view combination.
Traditions
What makes a Maryland Saturday different
Testudo
Rubbing the turtle statue's nose for luck predates most of the current student body.
Metro tailgates
A growing share of the crowd arrives by Green Line, so the pregame scene splits between the lots and the campus bars.
