Several grass parking lots around Beaver Stadium will be closed for Saturday’s Penn State-Iowa football game because of current and forecasted conditions .
‘Intercollegiate Athletics utilizes several intramural fields for football parking and this week’s rain will continue to cause more damage to the fields with fall intramural sports still in progress for Penn State students,’ an athletic department news release said.
Those who park in paved lots will be unaffected. Vehicles with permits for the affected areas will be directed to other lots. Fans also are being asked to carpool and avoid bringing RVs, unless they have a permit for paved parking.
General game day parking is still available for open lots. A map of game day parking areas can be found at GoPSUsports.com/gameday.
