On Friday, September 22, the Arizona Wildcat Football Team will face off against the University of Utah at 7:30 PM. This event brings a great deal of excitement to our campus and positive exposure to the University and the Tucson community. This opportunity provides a national audience and a chance to showcase our beautiful campus. While this event is a benefit to the UA, it will also have some impact on our normal business activities.
To accommodate this event, UA Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) must ensure there is sufficient parking for thousands of football fans as they arrive on campus for the Friday kickoff. We know this will disrupt some of our normal University activities. We are putting plans in place to minimize the impact.
Tailgating will begin at 1:30 PM on the Mall and we anticipate increased activity and traffic in the area beginning at noon. Delays and detours should be expected when driving near the stadium or center of campus during this time.
To improve traffic and parking conditions on this day, PTS is assigning an alternate parking location to each parking permit holder in the immediately affected areas. PTS will soon send an email informing permit holders where to park on game day and the best route to get there. Please remind your employees and students to watch for this upcoming email.
Permit holders who will have to park in a different location on the September 22, game day are those who currently park in: Cherry Garage, Lots 6090, 6092, 6093, 6097, 6098, 4052, and on National Championship Drive. These parking requirements will also apply to service spaces within these lots. For a detailed map of the relocation assignments please click here.
Vehicle parking on game days is available at various lots and garages for a fee of $5, $10, or $15. For specific locations and prices, please see ourampersannbsp;
