Parking for Saturday's meet

Doors will open at 8:15 AM. 

Buses can drop swimmers at Nelson on the way up the hill and then park in the Orange Lot (the football tailgate lot - across the street from the end zone of the football field). 

Please note there will be Men's and Women's basketball games at the field house during the afternoon.

Spectator parking is pretty much everywhere on upper campus - tennis courts, the "VIP" section of the football stadium, etc.  Since our meet starts at 11:00 and basketball not until 1:00, our spectators should not have too much trouble parking, we just want to make sure we direct our traffic through the doors on the uphill side of the building - NOT the doors near the athletic department sign on the downhill side of the building - this will be for basketball only and signs will be posted as such.  Swimmers and spectators will be using the same main entrance.
