On-campus stadium plans for parking, tailgating By Stuart Smith @notstuartsmith
When the new on-campus football stadium opens next year, game days will be drastically different than they have been in the past. The Associated Students of Colorado State University, the University, and the City of Fort Collins are still working out the final details, and will continue to throughout the summer, but many decisions have already been made. Here is the most upto-date information available now:
Parking
Re-Park Program Only three of the residence hall parking lots will be open for
students to park in on game days, and every other residence hall lot will require residents to move their vehicles. The re-park program will require residents to move their cars between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on the Friday evening before game day. Students living on campus will be able to move their cars back four hours after the game ends on Saturday, or midnight, whichever comes first. Residents of Westfall, Parmelee and Allison will not be required to move their cars. Students re-parking can move their vehicles to the South College Avenue parking garage and the University Square parking lot. However, they must move their cars from these lots by 7 a.m.
Getting to and from the game Visitors will have various ways to get to campus for games in anticipation for the 40,000 attendees. Based on game attendance at Hughes Stadium during the 2016 season, 55 percent of the attendees will arrive by vehicle, 25 percent by bicycle or walking and 13 percent by transit. The remaining attendees are expected to be on-campus residents. For every parking lot, there will be a designated way for attendees to leave campus. Those parking in lots northwest of the stadium will exit onto Shields Street. The parking lots on the far west side of campus will feed into College Avenue. The Lory Student Center, Morgan Library, Braiden Hall and Harts-
horn Health Center parking lots will lead to Laurel Street, and those parking in the Lake Street garage will leave campus via Prospect Road. Visitor Parking Every parking lot other than the exempted north side residence hall lots will only be available to vehicles with game day parking permits, which will cost $100 for the whole season. However, that $100 will only cover the parking lots farthest from the stadium, with the closer lots restricted to higher levels of donors. The closest parking spots to the campus were available for those who donated $10,000 or more to the stadium this season and those parking lots are sold see STADIUM on page 6 >>
