Construction Alert for East Bank U of M Athletic Events
Due to the construction of the new stadium, traffic has been congested in the area surrounding Mariucci and Williams Arenas, including access to the Huron Boulevard Parking Complex. For the rest of the school year, at periods of time, some roads will close or may become one-way only. For a smooth trip to and from campus, we highly recommend that you allow extra travel time and plan ahead for your visit.
To identify especially busy traffic periods, check the event calendar (http://www1.umn.edu/pts/events.htm) for a listing of other campus events. Event rates ($7.00 or $9.00, except at Oak Street Ramp) go into effect 2-3 hours before the event.
