Overview and Suitability
The Boshamer Stadium Parking Lot is an open-air surface facility situated in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, primarily serving the University of North Carolina campus community and visitors attending events at Boshamer Stadium. This lot is a designated facility for students and employees holding S10 permits, and it provides limited accessibility parking for visitors. During major athletic events, the facility transitions to accommodate specific event parking protocols.
Access and Navigation
Located on the university campus, the lot is designed for standard passenger vehicles. Visitors should be aware that the facility has a moderate exit rating; drivers may experience delays during peak egress times following stadium events. Navigating the lot requires adherence to university campus traffic ordinances, and users are encouraged to head south upon exiting the lot to optimize traffic flow.
Parking Rates and Booking
Parking regulations vary based on the time of day and event schedules. Weeknight parking typically requires either a valid university permit or the purchase of a temporary weeknight pass. For specific event parking, guests should check the latest university transportation guidelines, as certain areas are reserved for Rams Club permit holders. Mobile payment options and pre-booking via platforms like ParkMobile may be available for specific event days.
Security and Amenities
The facility is managed by the UNC Transportation and Parking department. It features surface-level parking with five designated accessible spaces. While it is an open-access lot, it is subject to standard university campus lighting and safety monitoring. For assistance or specific permit inquiries, users can contact the Administrative Office on Airport Drive.
