Faculty & Staff: You can use your University ID card to get into any non-Terrapin Club reserve areas. Attendants are instructed to check for ID's and admit at all lots except for 1, Z, JJ, SDG South, ULG, Q, M and R3. If your permit is for one of these lots, you may park in any other available lot WITH your UID. If you do not possess a university ID, you may obtain one through the Registrar’s office.  If you do not have a faculty/staff parking permit, you may request an Access Permit from DOTS prior to the game day.

Students: If you are not attending the football game but need to park on campus on a game day, you will need to request an Access Permit in advance at no charge from DOTS prior to game day. Without an Access Permit or game day parking permit you will need to park in an available street-side meter space and pay the meter.

Access Permit: Requests must be made in person at the DOTS office the Monday - Friday (8:15am - 4:00pm) before the football game.  Employees will have access to Regents Drive Garage or Terrapin Trail Garage if Regents Drive Garage is full.

Unaffiliated Guests: If you are planning to visit campus during a home football game, you will need to obtain a parking permit in advance of your visit. You may purchase game day parking permit online.

Relocation & Towing for Gameday

ALMOST ALL LOTS ON CAMPUS ARE RESERVED FOR FOOTBALL ON HOME GAME DAYS.

Tow notice lot signs with relocation requirements have been and will remain posted at all lots affected by game day.

If you plan to visit campus on a home game day but aren't attending the game, we recommend you view our non-attendee home game parking options for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

HOME GAME VEHICLE RELOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Vehicles that are not relocated by the indicated times may be cited and/or towed at the owner's expense. You may begin relocating your vehicles at 4:00 p.m. the Friday before the home game.

All non-faculty/staff vehicles in the following lots must be relocated by 11:59 p.m. the Friday before every home football game:

Lots 4b, 5, 9b, 11b, A, C1, C2, CC1, DD, E, ER, FF2, GG1, H, II1, K1, K2, L, PH1, MM2, N4, MV, NN, 01, 03, P1, P2, RR2, T, Turner Hall, U, XX1 and Xfinity Visitor Lot.

FOR LOT 6 (TERRAPIN TRAIL GARAGE) REGISTRANTS

Lot 6 registrants do not need to relocate their vehicles in advance of the game. However, if you leave Lot 6 and return on game day, you will not be permitted to re-enter the lot until after the game. Your student ID will not grant you access.

ON-CAMPUS RELOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommend you move your vehicle to Terrapin Trail Garage (Lot 6), Mowatt Lane Garage or Lot K7 if you need to relocate to another parking lot on campus. If you choose to relocate to Terrapin Trail Garage (Lot 6), note that, if you exit the lot on game day, you may not re-enter the lot until after the game.

If you are moving your vehicle to another lot on campus that is outside of our recommended relocation areas, please ensure that you:

1. Check the lot for posted tow notice signs. If a tow notice sign is posted, please read it to ensure that you are not parking in the lot when it is restricted for football.
2. Read the permanent lot sign (red or black with the lot name) to ensure that you are not parking during hours that are restricted to permit holders.

AFTER GAME DAY

All registered vehicles must be parked in their assigned parking lot by 7:00 AM on the Monday following game to avoid citation.

Quickbus

We realize many of our lots are quite far from Maryland Stadium. To help get you to the stadium, we offer our Quickbus service before and after the game. Please see the map below for route specifics.

Those needing paratransit and disabled accommodations should contact us at 301.314.DOTS(3687) or transportation@umd.edu PRIOR to game day.

Tailgate & Gameday Safety

Please note that campus codes prohibit grilling in parking garages.

Please visit the 2018 Football Tailgating Guide for detailed tailgating information.
