University of North Carolina Department of Public Safety Parking and Transit Information

RV parking is free at the Friday Center Park and Ride Lot off of NC Highway 54. There is no public RV parking on campus. Parking in the Friday Center Park and Ride Lot is available to RV’s beginning 5 p.m. on the Friday evening preceding football Saturdays until 5 p.m. the Sunday following home football game Saturdays.

However, fans should note that while RV parking is allowed in the Friday Center Park and Ride Lot, there are no hook-ups and no public restrooms in the lot. The closest RV parking areas with hook-ups are located at Jordan Lake and the Eno River State Park. The following is a link to our RV page listing the local RV Parking Locations: http://www.dps.unc.edu/SpecEvent/campusaccess/rvparking/rvparking.cfm

Fans parking at the Friday Center Park and Ride Lot can get to the game by riding the Chapel Hill Transit buses, beginning 3 hours prior to game time. The cost is $5 per person roundtrip.

Reservations are not required for individual RV’s. However, groups are encouraged to notify the Department of Public Safety at least 72-hours in advance via phone (919.962.3951) or via our website at http://www.dps.unc.edu/Forms/specialevents/allspecialevents.cfm

All RV’s are asked to limit the number of parking spaces used in order to maximize available space. Less than 7 spaces per RV is a good guideline. RV patrons are also asked to pick-up their trash before leaving the parking area, so we may continue to offer the lot as an alternative parking location for RV’s.

Disability Parking

Where do fans with disabilities park and how do they get to the stadium?

Disability parking is reserved in the Ambulatory Care Lot off Mason Farm Road (near Columbia Street). Wheelchair accessible vans and buses service our fans with disabilities and take them and their caretaker (if this applies) to the main north and south side gates.

Shuttles are designated for each side of the stadium (north and south), so fans need to make sure they ride the correct shuttle to get to their destination. Stadium seating information is printed on the game tickets.

Question

Answer

Disability Parking

What is required for access to disability parking and shuttles?

Any vehicle displaying a disability plate, permit or placard will be given access to the reserved disability parking, if the driver also pays the $10.00 parking fee.

Disability Parking

Is it possible to arrange one-game disability parking for someone that has a temporary disability such as a broken leg, but no disability permit?

Yes, as long as the request is made at least 72-hours in advance. DPS cannot guarantee a parking permit for requests less than 72-hours in advance. Contact the Department of Public Safety at 962-3951 or http://www.dps.unc.edu/Forms/specialevents/allspecialevents.cfm

for special one-game parking permits for access to the disability parking lot.

There will be a $10.00 parking fee upon entry to the disability parking lot, but the permit from Public Safety will allow access to the lot with the $10.00 entry payment.

Bus Parking

Where do Charter buses park? How do I make arrangements and how much does it cost?

Charter buses park on Bowles Drive near the Dean E. Smith Center unless there is an event at the Smith Center that precludes that from happening. Parking on Bowles Drive is $40 per bus. Arrangements can be made through the Department of Public Safety in advance or buses can take their chances and drive to Bowles Drive on game day. All non-reserved spaces are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

To make a reservation, complete the website request form at least 72 hours in advance of game day. DPS cannot guarantee a parking permit for requests less than 72-hours in advance and it is recommended that requests are made at least one-week in advance. The web request address is: http://www.dps.unc.edu/Forms/specialevents/allspecialevents.cfm

Bus Parking

Bowles Drive is too far from the stadium for some of the fans on the buses to walk. Is there a place the bus can drop-off before parking on Bowles Drive and then pick-up after the game?

Special arrangements need to be made for drop-off, if it is needed for some location other than Bowles Drive. Drop-off in other locations is discouraged, because doing so holds up traffic and causes traffic flow problems. In certain cases, arrangements can be made through the Department of Public Safety via the website at http://www.dps.unc.edu/Forms/specialevents/allspecialevents.cfm

DPS cannot guarantee arrangements can be made for requests less than 72-hours in advance.

Question

Answer

Employee Parking

I’m an employee and I plan on working on game day. Where do I park?

UNC and UNC Hospitals employees working on game day can park in a variety of locations including the Dogwood Deck on south campus and the Swain Lot on north campus. At the Dogwood Deck, show your employee ID upon exit and you will be allowed to exit for free until 9:30 a.m. Monday. At the Swain Lot, a UNC One Card or regular employee permit will gain you access to the lot.

Picnicking / Tailgating On Campus

Can I tailgate in the campus parking lots prior to game time?

Tailgating is allowed, but open flames and alcohol are prohibited.

Use of more than one parking space per vehicle is also prohibited. Limiting the number of spaces used per vehicle allows more fans to park on campus and experience the game day atmosphere.

Fans are expected to clean-up their trash and act respectably, so tailgating can remain a game day tradition.

An alternative to traditional tailgating is TAR HEEL TOWN. Tar Heel Town starts 2.5 hours prior to game time and includes: (1) The Old Well Walk with the Team, (2) The Kick-off Show Live from Tar Heel Town, (3) Activities such as face painting, rock climbing and inflatables, (4) Visits by the Tar Heel Mascot, (5) Give-aways such as posters, trading cards, etc. (5) Parker’s Barbecue and other food. For more information link to the Tar Heel website at http://www.tarheeltown.com/

Drop-offs & / Pick-ups

Why is there no designated area for dropping off and picking up next to the Stadium?

While there are many positive reasons to allow drop-offs and pick-ups near the stadium, there are also a variety of negatives as well. Two of the biggest negatives are: (1) security / safety concerns posed by unknown or non-credentialed vehicles and (2) traffic congestion.

Traffic Information

Due to the volume of vehicles in and around campus on home football game days, it is best to plan on arriving to campus early and best to follow suggested directions of travel.

Football patrons without football parking permits for campus are encouraged to carpool or use the Chapel Hill Transit Tar Heel Express Park and Ride Shuttles.

The volume of traffic on campus on game days and the various parking needs require that parking lots and streets are restricted and/or screened. As part of the game day parking and transportation operation, vehicles may be asked to travel in a direction other than the one most preferred. Patrons, students and/or employees may be restricted from entering certain lots or streets. Traffic control studies have been conducted and traffic patterns are set to best benefit the overall operational needs.

Please heed the signs and requests of the parking monitors and traffic control personnel, as they are here to make the operation run as smoothly as possible during a very busy and difficult event.

Traffic is typically heaviest 1.5 hours prior to game time. Please plan accordingly. A little patience and extra planning will make each person’s event experience more pleasant.

The following roads are always restricted to special permits prior to games. Vehicles without the proper UNC Season Football Parking Permit are not allowed access (official emergency vehicles are an exception):

The following roads are restricted pre and post game:

Ridge Road is restricted at Manning Drive and only Valid Permits for the Ridge Road Area will be admitted
Stadium Drive is one-way from South Road to Ridge Road
South Road is restricted at Columbia Street and Country Club Road, except for buses and specific game permits such as "ST-Stadium Drive" Permits, or "Tar Heel Town Undergrad/Wilson" Permits or "BT-Bell Tower" Permits.
Raleigh Street is restricted at Cameron Avenue and only Valid Permits for the lots between Raleigh Street and South Road or along South Road will be admitted.

The following roads are restricted post game:

South Road is one-way east-bound from Columbia Street to Country Club beginning the 3rd quarter
Stadium Drive is restricted to exiting traffic and special buses
Ridge Road
West Drive from Manning Drive to Mason Farm Road

For up-to-date campus parking event information, call the event hotline at 919-962-3951 or listen to 1610 AM on your radio as you get close to campus or check the Public Safety Breaking News Bulletin on the main web page at www.dps.unc.edu.

Also, late-breaking traffic information may also be posted through Twitter “(@UNCDPS)” or on the “UNC Department of Public Safety” Facebook page.

Helpful Hint: Public Parking is best accessed via US 15/501 to Columbia Street and Manning Drive. Patrons arriving from the Raleigh Direction may find US 64 to US 15/501 is a better route than utilizing I-40 to Highway 54. Likewise, patrons arriving from the Durham area on US 15/501 would be better served to stay on US 15/501 to Columbia Street exit to Manning Drive, rather than entering campus along Raleigh Road or Manning Drive at US 15/501. Most of the public parking is positioned along the Columbia Street end of Manning Drive.

Patrons without parking permits and arriving via Highway 54 from the Graham / Burlington direction, may want to try the new game day public parking lot on the corner of Cameron Avenue and Merritt Mill Road. The lot can be accessed by driving thru Carrboro to West Franklin Street and turning right onto Merritt Mill Road and then left into the lot just prior to the stoplight of Cameron Avenue or by exiting Highway 54 in Carrboro/Chapel Hill onto Smith Level Road and turning right onto Merritt Mill Road. Although the lot is about 10-15 minutes walking time from the stadium, it is expected to empty quickly post game and is also positioned close to Crooks Corner and several other restaurants near downtown Chapel Hill and the border of Carrboro.

Tar Heel Express Shuttles

Get to Kenan Stadium the Easy Way: Ride the Tar Heel Express

On home football days, Chapel Hill Transit operates special shuttles from park and ride lots located throughout Chapel Hill and Carrboro. All Game Day "Tar Heel Express" buses drop-off and pick-up on campus along South Road in front of Carmichael Auditorium and Woolen Gym.

This is a recommended and viable option to driving to campus in the traffic and looking for a legitimate public parking space. Public Parking on campus is limited!

Park and Ride Locations Include:

Jones Ferry Road near University Lake
Friday Center Park and Ride off NC 54
University Mall next to Dillard’s
Southern Village off US 15 and US 501

Service from the NC Highway 54 Friday Center Park & Ride Lot next to the Friday Center, and from the parking lot next to Dillard's at University Mall, begins 3 hours prior to game time so that fans may enjoy the festivities at Tar Heel Town, which typically is open to the public beginning 2.5 hours prior to game time until 1 hour prior to game time. The Friday Center and Dillard's Lot Tar Heel Express buses drop-off and pick-up on campus along South Road in front of Woolen Gym (near the stadium).

Service begins 1.5 hours before game time from Jones Ferry Road off NC 54 West in Carrboro and the Southern Village Park & Ride lot located on 15-501 south of town. Tar Heel Express buses from these locations will drop-off and pick-up at South Road on the UNC campus.

One-way fare for Tar Heel Express service is $3.00; Round-trip service is $5.00. Return trips from South Road begin immediately after each event and continue for approximately 45 minutes (more or less depending on the crowd at the shuttle stop).

General Public Parking

Certain lots are reserved for general public parking. The fee for regular public parking is $10.00 this season. Exact change is appreciated because it decreases traffic congestion by allowing quicker handling of the change and thus quicker parking. The general public is encouraged to park standard sized vehicles (not buses and RV's) in the following lots. No more than one space per vehicle is allowed:

The reserved public parking locations for the football season are:

Cameron-Graham Lot has approximately 100 spaces (across from UNC’s Cogeneration Plant and 1 block from Crooks Corner and 2 blocks from the Carolina Inn).
South Chiller Lot has approximately 35-40 spaces (across from the Dogwood Deck off Mason Farm Road and Columbia Street)
PD- Cardinal Deck (approximately 1,400 spaces)
Manning Lot (approximately 300 spaces – 200 Reserved for Rams Club this season)
Jackson Deck next to Dogwood Deck (500 spaces)

THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATION LOT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC PARKING THIS SEASON

RV parking will be available at the Friday Center Park and Ride Lot off of NC Highway 54 Lot. Travel to campus is available via the Tar Heel Express, which services this lot. There is NO PUBLIC RV PARKING on campus this season. Reservations are encouraged for all games so enough space can be reserved to accommodate these special oversized vehicles.

RV parking is free in the Friday Center Park and Ride Lot, but RV patrons using this lot are expected to keep the number of spaces occupied to a minimal (no more than 7) and to clean-up any trash generated prior to departure. To make a reservation, contact DPS at least 72-hours in advance by using the website at http://www.dps.unc.edu/Forms/specialevents/allspecialevents.cfm. DPS cannot guarantee a parking permit for requests made less than 72-hours in advance. DPS recommends making requests at least one-week in advance.

Public bus parking is designated on Bowles Drive near the Dean E. Smith Center as space allows (and as long as there are no conflicting events scheduled for the Dean E. Smith Center). Should overcrowding occur or the space become necessary for a Dean E. Smith Center event, buses will be re-routed to the Friday Center Park and Ride Lot off of NC Highway 54. Bus parking will be $40 this season, unless buses are sent to the Friday Center Park and Ride (no charge at the Friday Center).

Directions to the Parking Lots are located under the Directions section of this Web Page: We highly recommend following the directions provided.

Disability Parking & Shuttles

Parking

Specific parking spaces are set aside for game day/night disability parking. Patrons with state (any state) disability permits or plates may park in these spaces at the general public parking fee, which is $10.00 for this football season. Patrons without a state issued disability permit or plate may arrange for a special event disability-parking permit by contacting the UNC Department of Public Safety at least 72 hours in advance at (919) 962-3951 or via our website using the request form at http://www.dps.unc.edu/Forms/specialevents/allspecialevents.cfm.

Disability parking spaces for the Football Season have been set aside in the Ambulatory Care Lot off Mason Farm Road and Columbia Street. Back by popular demand, shuttle buses and vans chartered by the Department of Public Safety via an agreement with Carolina Livery will provide shuttle service to and from the stadium and South Road for Tar Heel Town again this year. Because there will be only one vendor (Carolina Livery) providing disability shuttles this season, patrons are encouraged to check the shuttle labels before boarding to ensure they are boarding the desired "north side" or "south side" shuttle.

Shuttles

Shuttle Service (vans and mini-buses) to and from the stadium begin 3 hours prior to the game and operate until 10 minutes after kick-off. They resume service post game as the crowd and traffic allows. Response time post game will vary depending on construction traffic patterns and game traffic.

The pay parking fee covers some of the expense for these shuttles, but other revenue generated by the Department of Public Safety is used to pay for the remainder of the shuttle expenses. The shuttles are not sponsored by any state or federal money. Shuttle drivers are not allowed to accept gratuities as they are paid to operate the shuttles and provide professional service to our valued event patrons with disabilities.

Due to the limited resources and the desire to provide the most efficient service possible to our patrons with disabilities, the shuttles may be restricted to our patrons with disabilities and 1 “caretaker” in the cases where patrons need additional assistance. If the shuttles are abused by non-disabled patrons and this adversely affects the service to our patrons with disabilities and their caretakers, a ticket collection process will be put into effect whereby disabled patrons and their "1 caretaker" are given tickets to ride the shuttles and only shuttle ticket holders will be provided transportation.

Employee Parking

Approximately 1,200 employee parking spaces are reserved for working employees with valid parking permits, UNC Hospitals credentials or UNC 2011 Special Event Employee parking permits. Departments with temporary or permanent employees without weekday employee permits, but who will be reporting to work on game days, may contact the UNC Department of Public Safety via our website request from at http://www.dps.unc.edu/Forms/specialevents/allspecialevents.cfm for special event parking permits that will be honored in game day employee lots. However, valid PID numbers may be required prior to issuance of employee game day work permits.

The following lots are reserved specifically for employees reporting directly to work and not attending the football game:

Swain Lot
Peabody Lot
Old East Lot
Emerson Drive
Davis Drive
Caldwell and Steele (NG3 Permit Holders Only)
Beard Lot (May be reserved for other special events coinciding with football)
Dogwood Deck
Craige Deck (Employee CD permit holders already parked on game day)
CG Helipad Lot (CG permit holders only)
Cardinal Deck (PD permit holders already parked on game day)
Cobb Deck (ND permit holders only)

Student Parking

Due to an agreement between the UNC Student Body Leadership and UNC Athletics, several resident student lots will be used for GAME DAY PARKING this year. Only valid game day permits will be allowed in these lots beginning 8 a.m. on football Saturday’s until 1 hour after the end of the game.

The new football game day permit areas include:

· K- Ehringhaus Lot (upper and lower lots)

· L- Morrison Circle

· L- Craige Surface Lot

· M- Hinton James Lot

Permit holders who normally park in these lots will need to relocate by 8 a.m. on home football game days. To accommodate the K, L, and M permit holders who normally park in these lots, K, L and M permits will be honored in the Craige Parking Deck beginning 5 p.m. on football Fridays and throughout the day on football Saturdays. K, L and M permit holders may gain access to the deck by using their UNC One Card and swiping their card in the 3^rd level gate reader next to Craige North. Alternatively, K, L. and M permits will also be honored in the Manning S11 Lot after 5 p.m. on Friday and on football Saturday. K, L. and M permits will not be valid in Craige Deck during alternate times.

TOWING WILL BE ENFORCED AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE OF $90 TO $100 PER TOW AND $50 TO $250 PER CITATION

___________________________________________________

On Football weekends, students are HEAVILY ENCOURAGED NOT to bring vehicles to campus if they do not have a weekday parking permit.

Too many additional vehicles on campus on game days may result in towing from more lots than in previous years. Possible alternative off campus parking locations for football Saturdays include the "R1/R2 Overflow Lot" off Airport Road next to the Physical Plant, the Friday Center Lot off NC Highway 54 and the 720 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (Historic Airport Road) Lot across from the Sheps Building (next to Foster’s Market and the Hunam’s).

In addition to the impact to resident student lots, many Commuting Student Lots and some combination Employee/Student Lots are reserved for game operations and NOT available for student or employee parking on game days. Commuting Student Lots and Employee/Student Lots reserved for game day special event permits require the lots to be empty beginning 8 a.m. on game day. The following are examples of these type of lots:

S10-Boshamer
S4-Stadium Drive
S10-Avery
S3-Ridge Road
S3-Navy Field
S3-Knapp
S3-Law Programs
CD-Craige Deck (student permits are not valid)
RD-Rams Head Deck
N5-Park Place
K-Lower Ehringhaus Lot (The upper lot is available)
S12-Hibbard and Branson Street Lots

There are some Commuting Student Lots and Employee/Student Lots reserved for game day use, but that do not require vehicles already parked to move from the lot if the weekday permit is displayed. However, these lots will be restricted from use by permit holders on game day, if the vehicle is not already parked when the monitor arrives. These lots include:

S11-Manning Lot
N5-Boundary Street
N5-Forest Theatre

Students who must come to campus to conduct academic business, may park in the Emerson Drive or Davis Drive Lots, if space is available.

Graduate students working on experiments or having some other type of academic business may arrange parking by contacting the Parking Coordinator in their respective Graduate School Program and having the Graduate School Program Parking Coordinator contact the Event Services Division or via the special event on-line request form (http://www.dps.unc.edu/Forms/specialevents/allspecialevents.cfm). Special Event permit quantities are limited, so Special Event Permits will only be issued to those with identification indicating their status as a graduate student (Valid PID's may be required). Special Event permits of this type are for academic business only and not for game parking. Abuse of the request process will prompt the elimination of this service.

Reserved Event Permit Parking

Certain lots are reserved for Educational Foundation and Athletic Department parking. Employees, Students and Visitors MUST relocate their vehicles from these locations by 8:00 a.m. on Home Football Saturdays.

Failure to remove vehicles from these areas by 8:00 a.m. will result in the issuance of a $20 ticket for temporary parking restrictions and a $90 - $100 fee for the towing of the vehicle from the reserved lot.

The following are examples of lots that are restricted and where vehicles will be ticketed and towed:

Rams Head Parking Deck S4- Ridge Road S4-Stadium Drive S4-Avery Lot

S3-Ridge Road S3-Navy Field S3-Knapp Lot S3-Law Programs Lot

K-Ehaus Lower Lot Portions of ND (Cobb Deck) BT-Bell Tower Lot & Deck

The following are examples of lots where access is restricted to event permits beginning 8:00 a.m., but in which vehicles with valid permits are not typically cited or towed if remaining in the lots after 8:00 a.m.:

T-Outdoor Recreation Lot S11-Manning Lot CD-Craige Deck Permit Holders

Driving Directions

Kenan Stadium, home of the UNC Football Team, is located off Highway 54 and South Road along Stadium Drive on the UNC Campus. However, all parking along South Road and Stadium Drive is reserved and access to those roads requires a valid game day parking permit.

Helpful Hints: Public Parking is best accessed via US 15/501 to Columbia Street and Manning Drive. Patrons arriving from the Raleigh Direction may find US 64 to US 15/501 is a better route than utilizing I-40 to Highway 54. Likewise, patrons arriving from the Durham area on US 15/501 would be better served to stay on US 15/501 to Columbia Street exit to Manning Drive, rather than entering campus along Raleigh Road or Manning Drive at US 15/501. Patrons arriving from Burlington and points south via I-85 and I-40 (traveling north and east) may find it easier to access campus via Highway 86 to Martin Luther King Boulevard then Pittsboro Street or via Highway 54 to Columbia Street.

DPS highly recommends avoiding Raleigh Road and/or Manning Drive between 15/501 and Hibbard Drive when arriving for football games. Most public parking is located off the Columbia Street corridor and Manning Drive. South Road is not accessible beginning 4 hours prior to game time.

Public Parking Directions

There is no public parking immediately surrounding the stadium or on the north side of campus on home football game days. However, Public Parking is available on campus in designated lots (see event map for directions).

The Ambulatory Care Lot (Disability Parking) can be accessed by taking 15-501 to South Columbia Street and then taking South Columbia Street to Mason Farm Road (just prior to the intersection of Manning Drive and Columbia and Pittsboro Streets) and turning right onto Mason Farm Road or from Historic Airport Road (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) to Columbia Street then turning right onto Cameron Avenue and left onto Pittsboro Street and then merging back into Columbia Street and turning left onto Mason Farm Road.

The Cardinal Deck can be accessed by taking 15-501 to South Columbia Street and then taking South Columbia Street to Manning Drive and turning right onto Manning Drive then turning right onto West Drive or by taking from Historic Airport Road (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) to Columbia Street then turning right onto Cameron Avenue and left onto Pittsboro Street and then merging back into Manning Drive while crossing Columbia Street and then turning right onto West Drive.

The South Chiller Lot can be accessed by taking 15-501 to South Columbia Street and then taking South Columbia Street to Mason Farm Road (just prior to the intersection of Manning Drive and Columbia and Pittsboro Streets) and turning right onto Mason Farm Road and going to the 3-way stop sign and turning right or from Historic Airport Road (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) to Columbia Street then turning right onto Cameron Avenue and left onto Pittsboro Street and then merging back into Columbia Street and turning left onto Mason Farm Road and following it to the 3-way stop and turning right.

The Jackson Deck can be accessed by taking 15-501 to South Columbia Street and then turning right onto Manning Drive, then right onto West Drive and left onto Mason Farm Road. The deck is on the right just past the 3-way stop. From Airport Road (now Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard), follow it to Columbia Street then turn right onto Cameron Avenue and left onto Pittsboro Street (stay in the right lane on Pittsboro Street) and stay left to Manning Drive. Once on Manning Drive, turn right onto West Drive and left onto Mason Farm Road. The deck is on the right just past the 3-way stop.

The Cameron-Graham Lot is located on the corner of Merritt Mill Road and Cameron Avenue across from the UNC Cogeneration plant, which is 1 block from Crooks Corner and 2 blocks from the Carolina Inn. Patrons arriving via Highway 54 from the Graham / Burlington direction can access the lot by driving thru Carrboro to West Franklin Street and turning right onto Merritt Mill Road and then left into the lot just prior to the stoplight of Cameron Avenue or by exiting Highway 54 in Carrboro/Chapel Hill onto Smith Level Road and turning right onto Merritt Mill Road. Patrons arriving via I-40 may take the Highway 86 exit (Exit 260) to Martin Luther King Boulevard and follow it to Cameron Avenue and turn right following it to the end. Then turn right onto Merritt Mill and right into the lot. Although the lot is about 10-15 minutes walking time from the stadium, it is expected to empty quickly post game and is also positioned close to Crooks Corner and several other restaurants near downtown Chapel Hill and the border of Carrboro.

The General Administration Lot can be accessed from the north by taking 15-501 South to Raleigh Road and from the east by taking Highway 54 west until it turns into Raleigh Road just past the 15-501 by-pass and from the south and west by taking 15-501 north to Raleigh Road. There is a shuttle that operates from this lot to campus as part of the parking fee.

The Manning Lot can be accessed from the north by taking 15-501 South to Manning Drive toward UNC Hospitals and then turning right onto Manning Drive and then turning left onto Bowles Drive. It can be located from the east by taking Highway 54 west to the 15-501 Boulevard (Fordham Boulevard) and going under the bridge and up the ramp to 15-501 and then turning right and following the boulevard to Manning Drive and turning left onto Bowles Drive. Motorists traveling from the south along 15-501 can locate it by following 15-501 north to Columbia Street and then turning right onto Manning Drive and following Manning Drive to the 7th stop light and turning right onto Bowles Drive and following Bowles Drive around past the Smith Center to the lot on the right. Motorists traveling onto campus via Airport Road from I-40 should follow Airport Road into town and stay on it as it becomes Columbia Street and then turn left onto Cameron Avenue and then left onto Pittsboro Street and then stay left onto Manning Drive (crossing Columbia) and then follow Manning Drive to the 7th stop light and turning right onto Bowles Drive and following Bowles Drive around past the Smith Center to the lot on the right.

Rams Club Reserved Parking Directions

Helpful Hint: Educational Foundation members that choose to give their parking permit to someone for a specific game should also give their guest directions on finding parking and information on suggested directions of travel. It is not uncommon for patrons to not know how to find the assigned parking location or to travel in a direction that does not allow for efficient locating of the parking destination. Consequently, lost patrons contribute to traffic congestion which leads to slower ingress and egress times pre and post game.

Smith Center Lots: The Smith Center Lots are best accessed via US 15/501 to Manning Drive and Manning Drive to Bowles Drive. Patrons arriving from the Raleigh Direction may find US 64 to US 15/501 to Highway 54 is a better route than utilizing I-40 to Highway 54. Likewise, patrons arriving from the Durham area on US 15/501 would be better served to stay on US 15/501 to Manning Drive, rather than entering campus along Raleigh Road or Franklin Street. Patrons arriving from Burlington and points south via I-85 may find it easier to access campus via Highway 54 to Manning Drive rather than attempting to arrive via I-40 to Highway 86 / Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Craige Deck and Public Safety Lot: These Lots are best accessed via US 15/501 to Manning Drive and Manning Drive to Bowles Drive. Patrons arriving from the Raleigh Direction may find US 64 to US 15/501 to Highway 54 is a better route than utilizing I-40 to Highway 54. Likewise, patrons arriving from the Durham area on US 15/501 would be better served to stay on US 15/501 to Manning Drive, rather than entering campus along Raleigh Road or Franklin Street. Patrons arriving from Burlington and points south via I-85 may find it easier to access campus via Highway 54 to Manning Drive rather than attempting to arrive via I-40 to Highway 86 / Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Hibbard Drive: This parking area is best accessed via US 15/501 to Manning Drive and Manning Drive to Hibbard Drive.

Patrons arriving from the Raleigh Direction may find US 64 to US 15/501 to Highway 54 is a better route than utilizing I-40 to Highway 54. From US 15/501 and I-64 from Pittsboro, follow 15/501 to

Patrons arriving from the Raleigh Direction may find US 64 to US 15/501 to South Columbia Street is a better route than utilizing I-40 to Highway 54 to US 15/501. From US 64 / Pittsboro, follow US 15/501 to NC Highway 54 and cross the bridge rather than exiting onto US 15/501 North and NC Highway 54 East. The road becomes Columbia Street after crossing the bridge. Follow Columbia Street to the 3rd light after crossing the bridge and turn right onto Manning Drive. Once on Manning Drive, turn right at the fourth light onto Hibbard Drive.

Cardinal Deck: The Cardinal Deck is best accessed by taking US 15-501 to South Columbia Street and then taking South Columbia Street to Manning Drive and turning right onto Manning Drive then turning right onto West Drive.

Patrons arriving from the Durham area on US 15/501 would be better served to stay on US 15/501 to South Columbia Street, rather than entering campus along Manning Drive or Raleigh Road. Follow US 15/501 from Durham to Columbia Street (like you are heading towards Pittsboro). At the top of the exit ramp onto US 15/501 South, turn right onto Columbia Street (at the stoplight) and go to the 2nd light and turn right onto West Drive. The Cardinal Deck has multiple entrances on the left. Make sure your parking permit is properly displayed so the parking attendant can see it or you will be charged $10 to park.

Patrons arriving from the Burlington area may find it best to enter campus via Highway 54 to South Columbia Street or I-40 to Highway 86 to Historic Airport Road (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) to Columbia Street. From Burlington on NC Highway 54, exit onto the first UNC exit onto US 15/501 South and then turn left at the stoplight heading toward UNC Hospitals and

UNC. Cross the bridge and follow Columbia Street to the 3rd light after crossing the bridge and then turn right onto Manning Drive.
