FOOTBALL PARKING

MARYLAND VS NORTHWESTERN (OCTOBER 11 at 8 PM): WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED FOR FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON

The Maryland Terrapins will host six Saturday games and one Friday game at Maryland Stadium. The information below relates to parking and shuttle service for the Saturday games.

If you plan to attend a game, we strongly recommend that you purchase your permits in advance of game day. Online prepay permits are $20-$40 depending on the game tier. Parking permits may be purchased on-site while space is available for $25-$45 depending on the game tier.

If you don't plan to attend the game but need to visit campus during a home game, we recommend you become acquainted with your parking options.

Individuals who park on campus—including students, faculty, staff and visitors—should review our game day vehicle relocation requirements, as almost all campus lots are reserved for football on home game days. 

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

On Friday, 10/11 at 8 p.m., the Terps will take on the Northwestern Wildcats. Friday Parking and Transit for that day will look a little different than Saturday game days.

GAME DAY PERMIT OPTIONS

SINGLE GAME PERMITS

Single game permits purchased in advance of the game are $20-$40 depending on the game tier. Parking options available for pre-paid permits are viewable on our football parking map.

Fans who arrive on campus on game day without a parking permit will only be able to purchase parking at street-side meters or in lots while space is available for $25-$45 depending on the game tier. Both of these parking options are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

SEASON TICKET HOLDERS

Season ticket holders receive game day parking permits through the athletics ticket office. Additional parking permits may be purchased through DOTS. 

TERRAPIN CLUB SCHOLARSHIP FUND PARKING

Terrapin Club members receive game day parking permits through the athletics ticket office. Visit the Terrapin Club website for additional information.

ADA ACCESSIBLE PARKING

ADA accessible parking is available via the north entrance of Stadium Drive Garage (SDG). You may purchase an online permit for any football lot and display both your online pre-paid permit and your disability license plate or placard to park in SDG. ADA parking in SDG is also available on a first-come-first-serve basis on game days without a permit purchased online in advance, but additional fees may apply to parking sold on-site as opposed to purchased in advance.

Vehicles MUST have a disabled license plate or placard to enter an ADA accessible parking area.  

Requests for additional information regarding disabled parking and paratransit should be sent to transportation@umd.edu 72 hours prior to game day. 

RV AND BUS PARKING

Parking on campus for buses and RVs on Football game days is no longer available.  For parking options please see the ‘ALTERNATIVE RV/BUS PARKING OPTIONS’ section below.
