The Daily Bruin

Family Weekend and our next football game are right around the corner, so please take note of the important information below. Kickoff against Lewis & Clark is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday). The weather forecast is calling for warm temperatures and sunny skies; bring your family and enjoy one of the last beautiful days before winter!

Bauman Parking Lot
Be sure to move your cars out of the Bauman parking lot and the tennis court parking lot on Friday evening. This space will be dedicated to football fan parking, activities and vendors on Saturday.

Entrances to the football game
There will be two entrances into the game and both are located in the Bauman parking lot, directly behind the stadium.

Wheeler Sports Center closed
The Wheeler Sports Center will be closed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This means the basketball gym, racquetball courts and locker rooms will be closed. The Fitness Center will remain open for normal business hours, but you will need to enter through the hallway entrance located on the field level, toward the end of the building near the tennis courts. There will be security officers who will ask you where you are headed; just let them know that you are going to work out.

Bauman Walkway
The sidewalk located between the football stadium and Bauman will be closed. Please walk around the building and do not move the barricade.

Circle Parking Lot
The circle parking lot near Wheeler will be closed for the day. This space is reserved for officials to park in. Officials will arrive as early as 10 a.m.

Sideline Passes
No one will be granted field access without a sideline pass. Sideline passes are issued to those who are required to work and/or have official business during the game.

Tickets
Students and staff can show their ID cards at the gate to get into the game free of charge. If you’d like to bring your family along to the game, you can purchase your tickets at the gate or in advance online at this link.

Grab a blanket and a friend (or family member) and join us for the movie The Goonies tomorrow (Saturday) at 8 p.m. in Hoover 105.
