UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Athletics has announced parking updates ahead of the Maryland football game due to the heavy rain expected Friday, Nov. 11, from the remnants of Hurricane Nicole. At this time, grass lots will remain open for Saturday’s game with Penn State providing parking at Innovation Park for those with concerns about parking in a grass lot. In addition, the Overnight RV (ORV) lot will be closed from noon Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday. Penn State Athletics will continue to monitor lot conditions and provide updates as needed.
Fans who have concerns about parking in their assigned grass lot can park at Innovation Park using their Penn State football game day parking pass. Those fans will be shuttled to Beaver Stadium from Innovation Park and dropped off at the North Transit Center near the stadium. Shuttles will begin running at 11:30 a.m. Saturday and will run until two hours after the game. Tailgating is permitted in the Innovation Park parking lots.
The Overnight RV lot will open as scheduled Thursday night at 6 p.m. but will close Friday at noon until Saturday at 8 a.m. Fans who plan to arrive Friday will be able to park at Grange Fair Park (1 Homan Lane, Centre Hall, PA 16828) for Friday evening, and will not be charged with presentation of the ORV permit. Saturday morning, the ORV lot will open and allow RVs to enter. In addition, ORV pass holders who are interested in parking a car rather than an RV on Saturday will be permitted to do so (one car per ORV pass).
ORV permit holders also may stay at Grange Fair Saturday night. There will be shuttle service to and from Grange Fair to Beaver Stadium (drop off at Pegula Ice Arena) Saturday for the game at no charge.
In addition, there will be no day-of-game parking available for purchase in Lot 36. Fans interested in purchasing parking on game day can park in the East or Eisenhower parking decks. Those fans should access the parking decks through the West zone. Tailgating is not permitted in University parking decks.
On game day, in the event a fan’s vehicle is stuck in a grass parking lot, Penn State Athletics will have towing available.
No. 14/15 Penn State welcomes Maryland for a Big Ten matchup Saturday at Beaver Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. on FOX. The 2022 Penn State football season is presented by PSECU.
