Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

Multiple campus lots with reserved and event-specific controls

What to do
Open the dated baseball parking map before departure. Accessible parking is listed in the East Coliseum, Stadium Deck, and Neville Arena lots, with limited space in the Home Plate Lot; other public availability can change with campus operations.
Best option
Choose a documented current lot rather than circling Donahue Drive. The East Coliseum Lot and Stadium Deck are recurring baseball anchors, while the Home Plate Lot is restricted to team personnel, family, and limited accessible parking.
Avoid
Do not enter the Home Plate Lot as ordinary public parking, assume a postseason pass applies to a regular game, or reuse a one-off free-parking notice as a standing season rule.
