Communications Card lot permit holders will be allowed card access into the Stadium Drive parking deck (South ten Hoor parking deck). They will also be allowed to park in any green faculty-staff space available on campus, including the Magnolia parking deck. They can request four tokens for entry into the Ferguson and Campus Drive decks.
NW Stadium lot and Admissions lot faculty-staff permit holders should move to Magnolia Parking Deck during those days. Another area available nearby is the North ten Hoor Deck. They will also be allowed to park in the gravel lot behind Publix.
Faculty and staff with a permit for people with disabilities will be allowed to park in any disability space in the area, or the Communications Card Lot with the Alabama High School Athletic Association. Please note that activities on the Walk of Champions may hinder access to this lot at certain times of the day. Enter the lot from University Boulevard.
West Commuter permit holders from the Wallace Wade parking lot can park in the gravel lot behind Publix, in the surface lot at ten Hoor or in the North ten Hoor deck. The Perimeter Zone is also available.
Colonial Drive residents who leave the Northeast stadium lot will not be allowed to return until late Friday, Dec. 8, or early Saturday, Dec. 9, and will have to park in other orange permit places at Tutwiler or the Magnolia Parking Deck.
