Facility Overview
Lot 23 at Brigham Young University is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility situated in the athletic and campus activity corridor along E 1550 N in northern Provo, Utah. As an unenclosed surface lot, Lot 23 features wide drive aisles and clearly marked standard parking bays, making it accessible to a wide variety of passenger vehicles. Without the vertical ceiling limits typical of multi-deck garages, high-roof conversion vans, full-size pickup trucks, and large SUVs can navigate and park with ease. Its convenient location on the BYU campus makes it an essential parking hub for students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors navigating the athletic facilities and nearby university halls.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Lot 23 offers immediate access to several of BYU\'s prominent venues and academic resources. It is within short walking distance of the Marriott Center (under a 5-minute walk), making it a prime destination for BYU Cougars men\'s and women\'s basketball games, major campus devotionals, and arena concerts. The Larry H. Miller Field (Miller Park) baseball and softball complex, the Student Athlete Building (SAB), and the Smith Fieldhouse are also within a 5- to 7-minute stroll. Additionally, LaVell Edwards Stadium is located approximately a 10-minute walk northeast, allowing visitors easy foot access to college football game-day festivities, tailgating hubs, and athletic events across northern campus.

Visitor & Driver Tips
On BYU football and basketball game days, northern campus lots are subject to special athletic event parking designations, permit reservations, or timed closures. Regular visitors and non-permit holders should verify the current BYU Parking and Transportation regulations or event-specific signage before leaving their vehicle to avoid citation. Arriving at least 30 to 45 minutes ahead of tip-off or event starts will ensure easier navigation through peak traffic on E 1550 N and University Parkway.
