Penn State says a crowd of more than 100,000 people is expected for Saturday’s homecoming game against Northwestern.
With a noon kickoff, the university says fans should plan for heavy inbound traffic near Beaver Stadium.
Gameday parking lots will open at 7 a.m., the team arrival on Curtin Road will be at 9:30 a.m., and public gates open at 10:30 a.m. for Penn State’s 95th Homecoming contest.
Penn State issued the following parking tips for fans:
— Non-football traffic should refrain from using Park Ave. Non-football vehicles should use an alternative route to their destination as free east/west travel on Park Avenue will be restricted at 7 a.m.
— Fans attempting to buy a day of game parking permit will be directed to lots on Bigler Road (Lot 11 and East Deck) if coming west from Atherton Street. For patrons coming from the east, they will be directed to lots east of Orchard Road (e.g. Lot 26).
— Day of game parking permit sales off Porter Road are limited and expected to sell out quickly. There aren’t any day of game parking permit sales off of University Drive. Fans should proceed through campus or to Atherton Street and turn onto Park Avenue eastbound to be directed to Lot 11 or the East Parking Deck.
— Fans with pre-purchased parking permits should look at the back of their permits for directions to their parking lots. Patrons with permits should display those permits on their windshields.
