We’re sure you know by now. This weekend, Friday July 7-Saturday, July 8, is Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” at Arrowhead Stadium. Whether you’re attending the concert or not, here are the things you need to know about stadium dos and don’ts — plus, traffic advisories for those of us watching from Instagram stories all night.

Dos and don’ts

  • Purchase your parking in advance — gates to the lots open at 2:30 p.m. both days.
  • All GEHA Field gates will open at 4:30 p.m. both days.
  • Fans cannot tailgate or enter the parking lot without tickets to the concert.

Traffic + transit

Once the concert is over, westbound I-70 to Blue Ridge Cutoff and southbound Blue Ridge Cutoff north of I-70 will be closed. Northbound Blue Ridge Cutoff will be closed at Raytown Road, and all traffic exiting Gate 4 will be directed westbound to Ozark and Eastern.
