GENESIS CHURCH

IU FOOTBALL GAME DAY PARKING

IMPORTANT NOTE !!

It has come to our attention that many people have seen parking spots being sold for anywhere from $50-300 per game that bear the name “Genesis Church.” We want to assure you that THESE ARE NOT PARKING SPOTS AT GENESIS CHURCH

Indiana University wrongly labeled the grass lot and driveway that they own NEXT to our church as “Genesis Church.” While we asked them to change it, they had already printed their passes and sent them to their season parking pass holders. We have also noticed that some are being sold on other ticket websites for incredibly high amounts.

The price of Genesis Church parking spots for the 2025 football season are $40/spot

For all IU parking pass holders, you should use the secondary driveway entrance that is NOT marked by our Genesis Church street sign to decrease confusion and traffic issues

We are doing our best to make this public information. If you can help spread the word, we would be grateful
