Football Parking

In preparation for the 2011 football season, the Department of Athletics would like to ensure that you are informed regarding the procedures for purchasing parking decals for the upcoming season. Changes are listed below:

1. O'Kelly-Riddick Lot is our new VIP lot;
2. In order to purchase a decal in the O'Kelly-Riddick Lot, at least one season ticket or All Access Card must be purchased per vehicle;
3. The Student Services Lot will no longer be a reserved lot. Due to the high demand for handicap accessible parking on game day, we have been asked to open this lot for handicap patrons, first come first serve;
4. We have added two new reserved parking areas: Lincoln Street Parking Lot, and Lincoln Street parking. For a slightly higher fee, the Lincoln Street Lot has corner spaces with ample room for tailgating;
5. We will provide shuttle service from all parking areas on campus to the main gate beginning one hour prior to game time and up until one hour post game;
6. Due to increase in demand, we can only sell a maximum of two spaces per patron. Again, a season ticket or All-Aaccess card purchase must accompany the purchase of a decal in O'Kelly-Riddick.
   
   

• O'Kelly Lot ($85)
