If you’re driving to campus, we recommend putting “Beaver Stadium” or “Bryce Jordan Center” into your GPS until you get to campus. Once you arrive, look for signs pointing you to Spend a Summer Day parking. Complimentary parking is available in the Jordan East Parking Lot and Stadium West Parking Lot. Once you’ve parked, check in at the Bryce Jordan Center Gate B. Check-in runs from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
