FOOTBALL PARKING

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.

ALTERNATIVE RV/BUS PARKING OPTIONS

Some guests may find it necessary or simply more convenient to park off campus. Cherry Hill Park is located just 10 minutes from campus. Cherry Hill Park is unaffiliated with the University of Maryland. Reservations for Cherry Hill Park must be made online.

SCHEDULING A RIDE

Game day guests can schedule a paratransit ride with Shuttle-UM by calling 301-314-3687 (Option 1 for Shuttle-UM, then Option 3 for Paratransit) to speak with one of our dispatchers. For scheduled rides, guests will receive text updates (similar to rideshare apps) indicating that their vehicle is on the way, arriving, and more.

We recommend scheduling your ride well in advance to ensure accommodations can be made and to allow plenty of time to arrive at the game. If you’re unfamiliar with the campus or need any assistance with your ride, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

If you are scheduling a ride ahead of game day, you may also reach out to shuttledrm@umd.edu to book.

We understand that it can be a long distance from campus parking lots to SECU Stadium. If you need transportation assistance, please call our dispatchers at 301-314-3687 (Option 1 for Shuttle-UM, then Option 3 for Paratransit). One of our drivers will pick you up and take you to your campus parking destination or the College Park Metro Station.
