Parking At A Glance

What to do
A valid annual Texas A&M parking permit permits free entry only to the listed eligible basketball lots. Show the permit barcode from My Parking on a phone or paper. Season prepaid permits cover the assigned 100-series areas. Accessible parking is $5 in Lot 102 and part of Lot 100g, with placards checked at entry.
Best option
For Reed men’s basketball, Transportation Services lists $5 public parking in Lots 97 and 100j, with limited spaces in 100a–c and 100e–g. Individual-game prepaid parking is offered through the official basketball parking page. Lot 100j opens 2½ hours before the game; check current availability and any conflicting event.
Avoid
Do not treat a university permit, season parking pass and single-game prepaid reservation as interchangeable. Limited 100-series availability can fill; use the actual men’s basketball traffic plan and follow closures. Women’s basketball and volleyball have separate parking terms, so do not carry men’s prices across events.
