Morgan Wallen Gainesville Draws Two Nights at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
morgan wallen gainesville now has two nights on the calendar at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, with shows set for Friday and Saturday at 5:30 p.m. The setup also brings a campus traffic plan that starts before the first note, because West University Avenue will close near the stadium and advance parking is already gone in three UF zones.
Friday And Saturday At The Swamp
Wallen is coming to Gainesville as part of his "Still The Problem" Tour 2026, and both concerts are scheduled at the University of Florida stadium known as "The Swamp." Friday's bill includes Thomas Rhett, Gavin Adcock and Zach John King, while Saturday adds Ella Langley to Adcock and King.
All gates at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium will open at 4:30 p.m. on both days, giving attendees a 60-minute window before the 5:30 p.m. start. Field level ticket holders must use the SEZ Ramp between Gates 15 and 16, while the ADA Wheelchair Seating Level entrance is near Gate 3 on the west side and the VIP entrance is at Gate 17 on the south side.
West University Avenue Closure
A section of West University Avenue between NW 17th Street and Gale Lemerand Drive will close at 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday for safety before, during and after the concerts. The roadway is expected to stay closed until roughly 1 a.m. each night, which leaves a late-night exit path for anyone trying to reach the campus area after the shows end.
The closure matters most for people moving around the stadium district, where the road plan and the gate plan are already working together. Attendees who show up with oversized bags will be turned away at the entrance, since only wristlets, wallets and clutch purses or cross-body bags no larger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches are allowed.
UF Parking And Entry
Advance public parking in the orange, blue and yellow zones on UF's campus is sold out for both concerts, so the remaining option listed for day-of-show parking is the Maguire Park & Ride Lot in the Brown Zone. That lot costs $40 per vehicle and takes credit cards only on arrival.
Security screening applies to everyone and every item entering the stadium, so the practical move is to arrive early, use the correct gate for the ticket type, and avoid bringing anything larger than the allowed bag size. For Gainesville, the business end of this two-night run is simple: the show starts at 5:30 p.m., but the traffic and entry clock starts much earlier.
