Volleyball Parking The F Lot - located adjacent to the Mollenkopf Athletic Center - is the only reserved lot for volleyball. On a home event night, it opens at 5 p.m. The R lot (north of Ross-Ade Stadium) is available after 5 p.m. weekdays and all day on weekends unless otherwise posted (for example, football and basketball game days). Also available are the two lots constructed adjacent to the new football practice complex. The A lot (between Cary Quad and the Ross-Ade scoreboard) is open after 5 p.m. weekdays and on weekends but only via the west side entrance. These spaces are posted AB parking. The east side of this lot is restricted to residence hall parking 24 hours a day unless otherwise posted (for example, football and basketball game days).

Updates: Lindberg Road is now open between McCormick Road and Northwestern Avenue.

Southbound travelers (from Chicago) should exit I-65 at U.S. 231 South (exit 193) and then turn left on U.S. 52 and follow into town.

The ongoing Mackey Complex project will affect traveling to and parking for Purdue football games during the 2011 season.

For regular vehicle permit holders, football parking lots open at 7 a.m. (except for lots D & T on the golf course, which open at 8 a.m.) OR eight hours prior to kickoff, whichever is later.

John Purdue Club members who have purchased parking permits will be directed along Northwestern Avenue on the east of campus and McCormick Road on the west of campus, and then will branch off onto Cherry Lane, Stadium Avenue, Third Street, or State Street (State Road 26) to the correct parking area. For fans who want to park in the general public pay lots, the best route from the north is to take Northwestern Avenue to Cherry Lane or Stadium Avenue, turn right onto one of these routes, and then proceed to McCormick Road and turn left. From the south, take State Street westbound to McCormick Road. There is general public parking to the east and west off of McCormick Road both north and south of State Road 26.

There are two public pay lots this year - the IM Gold Lot off of Third Street and the IM Black Lot off of McCormick Road. The cost for vehicles is $10. Bus parking is in the new BUS GRAVEL LOT, located next to the T-REC building and accessible from Stadium Avenue via the Service Road (see the Football Parking Maps for reference). Cost for bus parking is $30. General public parking for recreational vehicles is in the RV4/IM Black Lot for $30. For overnight parking, fans can park recreational vehicles in their permit lot starting at 6 p.m. the day before a game, and non-permit holders can park their recreational vehicles in the IM Black Lot starting at 6 p.m. the day before a game. Parking lots will not have electrical hookups. Paid parking lots open eight hours prior to kickoff, but no earlier than 7 a.m. the day of a home football game for all other vehicles.

For fans needing assistance, golf carts and shuttles are available. The pick-up/drop-off points for general public lots will be clearly marked as fans pull into the lots. The general public handicap lot is called Lot O, off of Stadium Avenue between Lambert Baseball Field and Rankin Track and Field and in the new GC Lot, located at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Course in the former RV2 Lot. The cost for Lot O & GC is $10 and includes a shuttle ride to and from the stadium handicap gates.

Be sure to watch for the programmable signs on Northwestern Avenue and U.S. 52, which will help fans with directions.

All parking lots close four hours after each game, with the exception of RV Lots that close at 10 a.m. Sunday.
