Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Campus P1 approach; confirm current baseball construction access

What to do
The university corridor map assigns First Merchants Ballpark Complex to P1 and says athletic-event parking is free except during football and men’s basketball games. Use current event signs when schedules overlap; a campus drawing is not a reserved permit or guarantee that a construction-side entrance remains open.
Best option
Approach the baseball complex near Bethel and Tillotson, across from Scheumann Stadium. Arrange mobility/companion access and a suitable drop-off with Ball State at 765-285-1474. The owner’s ongoing third-base locker-room project means a general map does not establish every present accessible route.
Avoid
Do not navigate to the football stadium or treat a campus location number as a baseball section. Postseason tickets and overlapping-event parking can differ from ordinary regular-season baseball. Keep out of team-only/construction areas and use the active public gate.
