Visitor & Driver Tips

During Friday night football games or regional track invitationals, the surrounding roadways experience elevated traffic; arriving 20 to 30 minutes early ensures optimal stall selection close to the pedestrian pathways. In winter months, watch for localized snow accumulation or icy patches, and allow extra stopping distance across the lot. When returning to your vehicle at night, be mindful of pedestrian foot traffic exiting athletic venues toward Lincoln Lake Avenue.
