Basketball Season Parking Rules

Basketball season is about to begin at the U of A, and U of A Transit and Parking Services wants campus to be prepared to navigate parking during home games.

Certain parking lots on campus must be vacated for men's basketball and women's basketball home games. The lots need to be cleared three hours before tipoff, but never before 5 p.m. on weekdays, to help accommodate Razorback fans attending the game.

It's important to be aware of when all home basketball games are this season to ensure you move out of any affected lots on time. The full schedules for both men's basketball and women's basketball teams can be found on arkansasrazorbacks.com.

You can add all basketball events to your Google calendar or Outlook calendar as a reminder to move your car. Instructions for how to do so are on the parking website.

The U of A Campus Services Facebook page and the @uarkservices Instagram account will also post a reminder before each game to move your vehicle.

Students who need to move their vehicles are encouraged to use the economy lot (Lot 500 on Beechwood Avenue) and may move their vehicles back to the main campus once the game is over.

The red lots on the separate maps for men's basketball and women's basketball show which lots must be cleared for basketball games.

Resident lots do not need to be vacated before games. However, some resident lots are near Bud Walton Arena, so it is recommended those permitholders try to avoid entering their lot leading up to and during the games, as police can turn away vehicles that do not have gameday parking credentials.

The men's team's first exhibition game against Gonzaga, which tips off at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, is the first basketball game that will require vehicles without a basketball parking pass to relocate from basketball lots.

The men's first regular season home game is against Arkansas - Pine Bluff on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. The women's team's first home game is at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2, against New Orleans.

Vehicles that are not vacated in time are subject to a $150 citation and relocation to the Baum-Walker west parking lot.

Football season continues this fall, with Arkansas hosting three more home games: Missouri on Oct. 31, South Carolina on Nov. 14 and LSU on Nov. 28. The football parking map shows which lots must be cleared before 11:59 p.m. the night before a home game.

Thanks to everyone for doing your part to make the U of A campus a welcoming environment for Razorback fans. If you have any questions, you can contact Transit and Parking at 479-575-7275.
