In response to a second winter storm expected to hit State College, Penn State has removed 20,000 parking spaces for Saturday’s game.
Tailgating and tents are prohibited to make room for as many vehicles in the reduced spaces as possible.
The university has asked fans to carpool and walk to the stadium to reduce the number of vehicles by the stadium, and all grass lots are closed. The overnight RV lot will remain open.
Live.psu.edu has released the following information regarding paved and gravel lots:
— Pink numbered, reserved lots, preferred lots (orange, blue and brown) and all general yellow parking will be redirected to space-available lots either on campus, or in designated lots in the community.
— Parking in numbered, reserved lots (green, red and purple) will be on a first-come, first-served basis for permit-holders in those lots. Parking will be restricted to one space per vehicle until 11 a.m. or until the lots are filled. If the lots are not filled by 11 a.m., they will be opened to the general public, with the restriction of one space per vehicle remaining in place.
— All ADA parking will be located in the East Parking Deck on Bigler Road. This parking deck will be open only to those with ADA parking permits, and it will be serviced by the ADA shuttle.
Patrons with passes for the lots listed above who arrive after these lots are filled, or after 11 a.m., will be redirected to another lot.
Penn State is working to partner with area businesses to have football patrons park in these community lots and be shuttled to Beaver Stadium. Shuttle service to the game will be provided to those parking in the following parking lots: the Benner Pike Wal-Mart; Sam’s Club; Chem Cut; Target; Lowe’s; Home Depot; the former Corning plant on East College Avenue; and the Big Lots Plaza. More information on this will be posted as additional community parking locations are identified. There is no charge for parking in these community lots or for the shuttles to and from the stadium.
