At The Games: Battle of I-75
Saturday & Sunday: Weekend Parking

Due to a multitude of events happening across the athletic campus, including the BGSU Spring Soccer Challenge that will bring thousands of athletes to campus, alumni and fans are encouraged to arrive early to Steller Field. We are planning for high volumes of traffic throughout the day along with adjusted parking availability.
Those attending baseball are to tell the police officer stationed at the corner of Mercer Road and Stadium Drive that they are going to baseball. From there, they will be directly to the appropriate lot at the Slater Family Ice Arena for baseball parking. Baseball fans must communicate to the officer that they are attending baseball or they will be directed past the baseball parking lot.
A full release for parking information can be found HERE.

Saturday: Alumni Day
