• One parking spot per vehicle. A parking pass must accompany each vehicle.
• The use and/or operation of remote-controlled equipment (including drones and toys) is strictly prohibited on campus – including gamedays. All grounds and parking lots are considered part of campus.

Passes: Lot 31 passes are given out on a season basis to I FUND members at the Oskee level and above who give a minimum of $2,500 annually. Each pass allows the pass holder to occupy two (2) 9x16 spaces. Spaces can be stacked vertically or horizontally. Parking attendants will be checking passes to maintain proper space usage.

Entrance: Lot 31 opens at 7 AM each gameday and spaces are occupied on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure this process, all cars entering at 7 AM will queue in the same direction, and enter the furthest north entrance on Oak St. All cars will enter Oak St. from Kirby westbound until initial surge has been accommodated (see queueing illustration below).

Rules

• All parking passes will be scanned upon entry. There are no pass-outs. Cars may not “drop” and return at a later time, regardless of gametime.
• All vehicles that enter the lot are required to have a pass. If another vehicle wants to “pick up” individuals after the drop, they must remain on Oak St.
• Personal and private portapotties may not enter the lot until 7 AM and must queue along with other vehicles entering the lot.
• Other items (ropes, cones, flags, etc.) may NOT be used to save spots prior to their vehicle entering beginning at 7 AM.
• No walk-ups. No tailgating may take place in Lot 31 without a pass. (i.e. no one may walk up to Lot 31 and utilize spaces for tailgating)
