Enhancing Your Game-Day Experience at the Carrier Dome: Parking
1/19/2003 2:07:49 PM | Men's Basketball
The main parking lots for the Carrier Dome include the Stadium West lots, the North Campus lots, and the South Manley lot. Season parking pass holders may park in the Stadium West or North Campus lots indicated on their passes. Single-game ticket holders can park in the South Manley lot for $7.
A shuttle service to and from the Dome is available for fans who park in the South Manley lot, and is included in the price of parking. This shuttle stops at the College Place bus stop just two blocks from the Dome. Parking for our disabled fans is available at Skytop for $7, with a shuttle bus that drops off at Gate A.
Another option is the OnTrack train system. The Orange Express shuttles fans from Armory Square to East Raynor Street, which is adjacent to the Dome. This service, which is available for all home men?s basketball games, costs $3 round-trip.
Season parking passes will be available to 2003-04 season ticket holders for $75-$100 depending on lot. Current season ticket holders without parking passes can request season parking at the time of their renewal.
SU Parking Services encourages fans to arrive on campus at least one hour before the game to reduce the traffic congestion. The Dome gates open 60 minutes prior to tipoff, and there is always a lot of activity and plenty of meal options available in the Carrier Dome.
To access the South Manley and Skytop lots, fans should use I-81 Exit 17 (Brighton Ave) or I-481 Exit 1 and follow the signs for Dome parking. To access the Stadium West lots, season parking pass holders should use I-81 Exit 18 (Adams St.) to Irving Ave. Up-to-the-minute pre-game traffic reports are available on WAQX, 95.7 FM, the SU Radio Network flagship station, and ESPN Radio, 1260 AM.
"If you consider the ground lots, the shuttle service from Manley and Skytop, and the OnTrack service, the system works pretty well," said Carrier Dome managing director Pat Campbell. "There?s a lot of parking options available."
