UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - PARKING AND TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENTS FOR PENN STATE WRESTLING EVENTS PARKING:
Fans attending Penn State Intercollegiate Athletic Events at Rec Hall are reminded of the two main parking options. Fans can park free-of-charge courtesy of Intercollegiate Athletics at parking lot Red-A accessed at the North Atherton Street and White Course Drive intersection or the Nittany Parking Deck, next to the Nittany Lion Inn.
For patrons parking in lot Red-A: a Penn State police officer will be available to control the light at the North Atherton Street/White Course Drive intersection for pedestrian crossing and outbound traffic as necessary.
At the Nittany Park Deck: Please use the VISITOR gate and stop to take a ticket to open the gate. All three gates will be marked as VISITOR. Upon leaving, all exit gates will be up to expedite the fans departure. Penn State traffic officers will be on site in key positions to keep the traffic flowing out of the deck. Please note: If a wrestling event takes place at the same time as a basketball game at the Bryce Jordan Center, Park Avenue may be congested. Based on the situation, Penn State traffic officers will be prepared to send all traffic exiting the deck to turn right onto Fischer Road and then right again onto Allen Road to access Curtin Road. From Curtin Road, fans can turn right to get to North Atherton Street or College Avenue/Downtown or turn left to go through campus to access all points to the East. Directional signage will also be displayed to assist those unfamiliar with the area. Overflow parking: Additional surface lots along Curtin Road may be available and the East Parking Deck is approximately three blocks away.
Campus Bus Service: The Red Link campus bus provides bus service from West Campus (the Red-A prking lot), travels the length of Curtin Road to Innovation Park and back. The Red Links run every 45 minutes on Sunday starting at 9 a.m. through 12:30 a.m. The Blue and White Loop campus buses provide bi-directional service across Curtin Road and along Beaver (White Loop) and College (Blue Loop) Avenues operating every 20 minutes on Sunday from 9 a.m. until after 10 p.m. There is no charge for riders on campus. See www.catabus.com for specific information.
NO BAG POLICY FOR SUNDAY, NOV. 13 IN REC HALL!
Recent developments warrant increased protective measures for our events this weekend. As such, bags of any sort, including purses, will not be permitted in Jeffrey Field, Bryce Jordan Center, Ice Pavilion or Rec Hall on Friday November 11 through Sunday November 13. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
