Eastern University Athletics

We've established guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all fans. Our policies, including tailgating rules, are designed to enhance the game day experience while prioritizing safety, community, and respect. Whether you're a seasoned fan or joining us for the first time, we invite you to embrace the spirit of camaraderie as we cheer on our team to victory!

The Physical Address of the entrance to the field is 40.055594, -75.387954 but 850 Radnor Street Road will get you close. 

Eastern Football plays its home games at Radnor Street Road. 

The Physical Address of the entrance to the field is 40.055594, -75.387954 but 850 Radnor Street Road will get you close. There is parking at the field and in the adjacent  Church of the Saviour lot. These lots will be available on a first-come first served basis. NO RV's are allowed in these lots. 

There is a designated Susquehanna Tailgate lot at the Valley Forge Military Academy Parade Grounds. The entrance to that lot is off Eagle Road. This is a reasonable walk to the stadium, but there will also be shuttle service provided as well. (For perspective, the second hole at St. Davids Golf Club is a par-4.) All visiting tailgate activities will be at the Parade Grounds.

There will be parking with shuttle service in the Athletics lot at the Cabrini Campus of Villanova University.  Through our contract with Villanova, there is absolutely no tailgating allowed at the Cabrini Lot.

Eastern Students are encouraged to use the shuttle service running from the McInnis Lot on campus. Fans can also park in the McInnis lot and ride the shuttle to the game. 

All of the lots are within a six-minute shuttle ride.
