Parking Policies
Thanks to the incredible work of Elder Construction, all parking lots are complete and open.
Lot Openings
All parking lots will open at 8:30 a.m. Please do not arrive more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled opening of the lots. Cars staged or parked near the entrance of each lot may be asked to move until 30 minutes in advance of the lots opening.
No tailgating is permitted until the lots are open and any vehicle entering the lots prior to the scheduled opening times may be subject to tow.
Saving Spaces
Saving parking spaces for other motorists is not permitted in any lot. Parking in lots is on a first come, first served basis except in lots with reserved and numbered spaces.
Use of Space/Travel Lanes
It is important to make every space available to use for parking as the number of access passes available per lot equals the numbers of stalls available. Automobiles and RVs may park only in designated areas. In order to efficiently use every parking lot, specific locations are assigned for automobiles and RVs. Your parking pass entitles you to use one parking space.
The use of a parking space for other reasons, such as portable grills, games tents, chairs, etc. is not permitted in non-reserved areas. For reserved parking lots, a parking space used for other reasons is only permitted if a parking pass is presented for specific space not used for vehicle.
Vehicles have the right of way in designated red travel lanes within the parking lots and pedestrians have right of way on sidewalks. Tailgating is allowed between your parking stall and the red painted line, no tailgating activities can extend beyond the red line or block the sidewalk at any time. Parking lot staff can ask patrons to move or relocate any equipment they deem to be disruptive. Failure to comply may result in removal from the parking lots or loss of future parking access.
Uber/Lyft/Rideshare, etc.
Please use the Lot F drive lane near CY Stephens Auditorium for rideshare pick up/drop off locations.
Illegal Parking
Parking on city streets or the road shoulder of city streets is not permitted and improperly parked vehicles may be subject to ticketing or tow.
Fines for illegal parking are $40 in neighborhoods surrounding the stadium.
