About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 47 is an open-air surface parking lot situated at 338 Stadium Avenue in northern Provo, Utah, directly adjacent to Brigham Young University’s premier athletic venues. Designed primarily as an expansive, ground-level asphalt lot, Lot 47 provides seamless parking convenience for university staff, students, and visitors attending major campus events. Because the facility is an uncovered outdoor surface lot, it offers completely unobstructed vertical clearance, making it an excellent choice not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and passenger vans that might otherwise struggle with low garage ceilings.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned along Stadium Avenue in the athletic corridor of BYU, Lot 47 provides exceptional proximity to major sports and entertainment venues:

LaVell Edwards Stadium: Located just steps to the west (less than a 3-minute walk), making it a prime destination for BYU Cougars football home games and large-scale concerts like Stadium of Fire.
Miller Park (Larry H. Miller Field & Gail Miller Field): Approximately a 4-minute walk north, hosting BYU baseball and softball games.
Marriott Center: Situated roughly an 8-minute walk to the south, home to BYU basketball games, devotional assemblies, and major university presentations.
BYU Student Athlete Building & Indoor Practice Facility: Located immediately across the athletic complex within a brief 3 to 5-minute stroll.
Rock Canyon Park & Trailhead: Situated less than 1.5 miles to the east, providing quick access to scenic hiking and foothills recreation.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Entering and exiting Lot 47 is straightforward via Stadium Avenue, which connects directly to University Avenue (US-189) to the west and 900 East to the east. Following major athletic events and sellout games, local traffic management directs outbound traffic efficiently toward University Parkway and Interstate 15 via 800 North or University Avenue. For public transit users, the lot is served by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), with nearby stops for the UVX (Utah Valley Express) bus rapid transit line at the BYU Stadium Station, providing frequent, high-capacity connections to the Provo FrontRunner commuter rail station, Orem Central Station, and Utah Valley University (UVU).

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers visiting during regular academic semesters should always review posted signage at lot entrances, as campus parking permits (Y, B, or Visitor credentials) are strictly enforced during weekday business hours (generally 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM). On BYU football game days and special event dates, parking rules shift to athletic event operations, often requiring pre-purchased digital parking passes or paid entry attendants. For high-attendance matchups, arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before kickoff to navigate Stadium Avenue road closures smoothly and secure your spot.
