Parking Policies and Procedures

Parking and Traffic

The University of Michigan will not be responsible for loss of or damage to vehicles, or their contents, parked for a football game.
Holders of football permits should clearly display their permits from the rearview mirror of their cars to assist parking personnel in directing them to the proper lots. Permits should be displayed at all times (even when entering the game) to avoid being towed.
All drivers should be alert to instructions from the uniformed police officers and parking personnel who will be directing traffic.
Patrons are reminded that normal parking regulations apply on game day. Vehicles parked in fire lanes, at the end of aisles, and in any other illegal location will be ticketed and/or towed. If you are unable to find a legal parking space, please see a parking attendant for assistance.
Spaces are available on a first-come, first serve basis. If you arrive at your designated lot and it is full, you will be directed to the next available lot.
Spaces may not be reserved for vehicles arriving later unless authorized by the UM Athletic Department.
Overnight parking is prohibited in all UM Football game-day parking lots.
Vehicles should vacate all lots within two hours after the game or vehicles will be towed.
In order to gain admittance to those handicap-designated parking areas that require a parking permit, your vehicle must display both a state-issued disability placard/license plate as well as the appropriate UM Athletic Department football game day handicap parking permit for that lot. You must park in the handicap-designated parking area for which you have a permit and not in the general parking areas within your assigned lot.
After the game, Main Street/Ann Arbor-Saline Road is one way southbound from Michigan Stadium to Interstate-94. Post-game southbound traffic along South Main Street will include stop-and-go traffic signals at the Scio Church/South Main and Ann Arbor-Saline/South Main intersections. This is intended to provide safer crossing opportunities for pedestrians. The traffic signal operation will be manually controlled and activated when pedestrians accumulate at the crosswalks.

Tailgating

AUTO passes allow vehicles to park in one (1) designated space. Tailgate accessory equipment shall be placed in accordance with the requirements set forth below.
RV passes allow RVs four (4) spaces and they must not expand past their four (4) designated spaces. The full vehicle including awnings, expansion sides, mirrors, tables, chairs, coolers, etc. must stay within the lined parking spaces allotted.
Tailgate accessory equipment may NOT be placed in any designated parking space unless it is one of the four (4) spaces designated for an RV.
Tailgate equipment may not be placed into roadways/driveways in a manner in which it impedes traffic. Parking Lot personnel will have the final decision on whether equipment impedes traffic or not.
Space is very limited; throwing of footballs or other objects should be kept to minimal distances and out of roadways and other tailgater's areas. Repeat offenders may have their objects confiscated. Please be considerate of other fans trying to park in the lot.
If you are using a generator, fill its tank before arriving to the campus and refrain from bringing additional fuel sources. If you must bring additional fuel for any reason, please limit the quantity and make sure it is always stored in a secure, well ventilated cool location. Generators must be placed a minimum of 25 feet from any structure including tents, canopies, tarps, or other combustible materials. These same requirements should be applied to the use and storage of propane grills or heaters. Also, please be reminded that grills, generators and other heat producing appliances are not permitted in University parking structures.
If you are planning to bring heat producing appliances or generators, it is highly recommended that you also maintain a suitable fire extinguisher as a part of your standard tailgating equipment.
Please be considerate of other patrons when using your generator. If your generator is loud and creating a disturbance for other patrons, parking employees or University officials may ask that you turn it off or move to a location where it will not create a disturbance for others.
Because of their inherent safety risks, unauthorized use of wood /charcoal grills, or other solid fuel burning heating type devices (i.e., portable fireplaces) is not permitted on university property.
If you are setting up tents, awnings, chairs, tables, TV's or other equipment for your tailgate, please consider pedestrian access, building or emergency vehicle access. Also, please avoid setting up in areas that may cause damage to University grounds.
Fans may not display flags, balloons, signs or the like (collectively, "Signs") more than 20 feet above the parking lot surface and must ensure that any flags, balloons, signs or the like are displayed only within the limits of the parking space (for AUTOS) or the four (4) parking spaces (for RVs) authorized for use by their vehicle; posting of signs in common areas of the UM lots or in a manner that would obstruct UM signage is strictly prohibited.
