Situated on the campus of Fort Hays State University, it’s where the community gathers for hard-hitting football and hometown pride. Planning your visit is simple — the Lewis Field Stadium seating chart helps you zero in on great sightlines along both sidelines.

Opened in 1937, this beloved venue seats 6,362 fans and features distinct East and West stands for reserved stadium seating.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Lewis Field Stadium

399 Lewis Dr

Hays, Kansas 67601

Located in Hays, Kansas, the stadium sits on the Fort Hays State University campus — about 3 hours from Wichita and roughly 4 hours from Kansas City, Missouri. It’s a convenient, central meeting spot for fans across western Kansas.

• Parking: On-site parking is available on campus; parking is generally free for most events, but availability may vary for larger games.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options are available in Hays.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: No official rideshare zones are designated, but general campus drop-off and pickup areas are available near main entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before kickoff, especially for high-attendance games. Early arrival gives you the best shot at close, free campus parking, shorter entry lines, and time to find your seats without rushing. If you’re meeting a group, aim for a shared arrival time so you can enter together.

This is an outdoor venue, so Kansas weather can be a factor. During football season it can swing from hot and sunny to cold and windy — check the forecast, layer up, and consider sun protection or rain gear as needed. For evening games, temperatures often drop after sunset, so pack a light jacket.

Expect a bit of walking from campus lots to the stadium, though terrain around the venue is generally flat. With limited public transit in Hays, decide in advance whether you’ll drive or use a rideshare; if you’re taking a rideshare, coordinate a pickup spot away from the heaviest post-game traffic. Arriving early also lets you settle in for those scenic sunset views when evening games line up just right.

Venue Navigation

Lewis Field Stadium’s layout is simple and fan-friendly, with East and West stands flanking the field. Entrances typically serve their respective sides, making it easy to head straight to your seating area. Wayfinding is intuitive — once inside, the aisles and stairs guide you to your row quickly.

Concession stands are available during events, offering classic stadium fare to keep you fueled through the game. You can also expect team merchandise to be available at games — a great chance to gear up in Tigers colors or pick up a souvenir. If you’ll be moving between rows and stands, comfortable footwear is a smart call given the stairs and walking between lots and gates.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by event — please review your event listing and check the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before you go.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Dress for outdoor conditions — Kansas weather can shift quickly during football season.
• Arrive 60–90 minutes early for easier parking and shorter lines.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of game day by arriving early to enjoy the campus atmosphere. With on-site parking typically free for most events, you can grab concessions, find your seats without rushing, and settle in for warmups. If you’re attending an evening game, keep an eye on the horizon — sunset views over the stadium can be an unexpected highlight.

Coming with a group? Pick a clear meeting spot before you arrive — such as near the East or West stand entrances — to simplify coordination. With limited public transit, shared rides or carpooling can streamline arrival and departure, especially for larger rivalry or conference matchups.

If you’re turning the event into a full day in Hays, consider a quick stop at area attractions like the Sternberg Museum of Natural History or Historic Downtown Hays before kickoff. They’re local favorites and add to the weekend experience without straying far from campus.
