Where should I park?
You may park in any of the student parking spaces including the parking garages. The student lots and garages are signed and student parking spots are painted white. There will be added restrictions beginning at 10:00 pm on Friday evening and on game day. Please observe all posted signage to prevent towing. Metered parking is available in some of the lots around campus and meters must be fed until 4:30 pm on Friday.
Several campus parking lots, mainly west of Woodward Avenue, will be closed for reserved parking on home football game days. All vehicles MUST be removed from these lots by 12:01 a.m. on the Saturdays before a home game - - vehicles parked after midnight will be towed at the owner's expense. (Note: Be advised that over 30 cars were towed before the last home game.)
The two student lots on Lake Bradford Road are reserved for Seminole Booster Motor Home parking; therefore, no vehicles will be permitted in those lots after 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, prior to game day. Vehicles parked in those student lots after 8:00 p.m. WILL BE TOWED at the owner's expense. For a map of the reserved parking lots, please visit the 2009 Seminole Booster Parking Map.
Please note: After the game any vehicles left overnight in Lot 14 (FSU Intramural Fields) will be towed at the owner's expense.
