General Overview
Located northeast of Buffalo, NY, on the University at Buffalo's north campus, most pregame tailgating takes place in one of the many parking lots on-campus around the stadium. The tailgate atmosphere depends greatly on the opponent and the weather - if the game is against a quality opponent on a nice day, many will tailgate; if it's a poor weather day and a meaningless game, much fewer people will tailgate.
Parking Information
There are ample parking lots on campus, which are all free to park. As it is situated alongside NY 263 (Millersport Highway), there are not many feasible off-campus parking options.
Most of the roadways adjacent to the stadium will be closed on gamedays, but the parking lots off of Augspurger (when approaching the stadium from the west) will be available. The lots include the Jacobs lots, Baird lots, Slee lots, and the Special Events lot. If you prefer to park a bit farther away for a quicker out, the lots across the street from the Old Stadium and Hadley Village (near the intersection of Hadley and Augspurger) are an option.

Stadium Information
UB Stadium opened in 1993 and seats 29,013 people. For the most part, the Bulls do not sell out the stadium, but there is always an occasional game (usually against BCS-conference opponents) where the stadium fills.
The stadium features bench seating, and has quite an ugly running track encircling the field. As most games are not sold out, there is always the opportunity to move down from the upper deck to the lower levels during the game.

Lodging
The stadium is located within easy driving distance of downtown Buffalo, if you prefer to stay there. If you prefer to stay closer to the stadium and sacrifice the amenities of downtown, there are ample hotel opportunities nearby (it is a college campus after all - there are always ample hotels nearby).
