Penn State announced Monday gameday parking changes for the Maryland football game.
To keep fans safe and to prevent further damage to intramural fields and Ag fields, as well as fans’ personal vehicles, grass parking lots will be unavailable for Saturday’s game against Maryland, including the Overnight RV lot.
No additional single game parking permits will be sold for the Beaver Stadium. The Senior Day Game will kick off at 3:30 p.m.
Six free shuttle routes, in addition to CATA from the Red A lot, will be available from off-campus lots to Beaver Stadium starting at 11 a.m. Saturday until approximately 60 minutes after the conclusion of the game.
A color and route number have been established for each shuttle route and fans will receive a wristband that corresponds with their shuttle.
Fans with Reserved or Preferred parking permits on grass are encouraged to park in the suggested alternative on-campus locations detailed below.
Patrons with prepaid Yellow parking permits, will have their permits honored at Nittany Mall, the Penn State Golf Courses, Tech Support, Mt. Nittany Elementary/Middle Schools and Red A lot. Yellow permits will be accepted at Red A until 10 a.m., or earlier, if the lot is filled.
Fans who still need gameday car parking should park in a downtown or State College area parking lot/deck and walk, take the CATA Game Day Shuttle or Fullington Football Express, taxi or Uber.
Fans who have a Maryland parking permit for all closed grass lots should utilize the below parking alternatives and walk or take a shuttle. All lots will open at 8 a.m. and all alternative lots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Due to lot capacity restrictions, permits for the alternative parking locations will be restricted to the options listed below or off-campus locations.
