Impact of Home Football Games on Princeton University Parking Permit Holders
On home football game days, special restrictions are in place in many parking areas near Princeton Stadium. In order to accommodate parking for fans, several parking areas will be closed to faculty and staff parking permit holders. Signs at each parking entrance will denote whether a football restriction is in place, and these areas will become "pay-as-you-enter" lots.
Areas impacted include but are not limited to: Lots 4, 5, 14, 21, 25, 26, and Western Way. To view the football parking map click here.
All vehicles parked in the above lots must vacate the restricted area by 9 am on each Saturday game day, or as posted on the day of the game. Any vehicle remaining in the restricted lots after the posted time may be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense.
On game days, University parking permit holders may move their vehicles to alternative parking areas available in Lots 2, 3, 10, North Garage, and West Garage.
