***Traffic Alert***

Because of the Tea Party Boise political march, portions of Capital Boulevard will be closed to traffic sometime between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. For an estimated 20 minute period, no traffic will be allowed to enter University Drive. We recommend fans use an alternate route. There will be increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic around Julia Davis Park for the 55th annual Art in the Park.

Off-Campus

Park Downtown and arrive at the game hassle-free! BSU Transportation and Parking Services highly encourage the public to park in the parking structures downtown for $5 and take the Boise Shuttle Service to the game. Shuttle stops include the corner of 8th and Broad, 8th and Main, and 6th and Grove.  Additional information regarding the Downtown Business Association stops and shuttles can be found at http://www.downtownboise.org/

URS/WGI Parking Structure is located off Park Boulevard, across from The Ram. Parking is $5 per space. Parking areas open 2 hours prior to kick-off. Boise Shuttle Service will take people to the game free 2 hours prior to kick-off and one hour after the game.

Residential street parking is limited. BSU discourages people from planning to park on the residential side streets. The street parking located closest to the university is city parking and not controlled by Boise State University. If fans choose to park on the city streets, they must remember vehicles are not allowed parked along portions of University Drive from 2 a.m.-5 a.m. Vehicles can’t be parked longer for more than 24 hours. Parking is not allowed 30 feet from stop signs or 20 feet from intersections. Parking is not allowed in alleyways, driveways or vacant yards, and all vehicles must be closer than 18” to the curb. Additional city parking rules and regulations can be found at http://www.cityofboise.org/Departments/City_Clerk/CityCode/

Julia Davis Park will not be available for general public for parking. Boise Art Museum’s Art in the Park is being hosted and has reserved the majority of the parking there.

On-Campus

To avoid traffic congestion, it is highly recommend visitors enter and exit campus from University Drive and Capitol Boulevard, or Lincoln Avenue and Beacon Avenue. University Drive, between Lincoln Avenue and Broadway Avenue, will be congested and should be avoided. Parking and Transportation Services recommends all visitors view BSU parking map (http://www.boisestate.edu/parking/CampusMap.pdf ) prior to arriving on campus and visit the Parking and Transportation Services Web site for additional parking updates www.boisestate.edu/parking.

Pre-purchase reserved parking pass! Football parking permits can be purchased in advance by visiting the Transportation and Parking Services Web site (www.boisestate.edu/parking).  Pre-purchased parking options are listed on the main page as parking pass pre-purchase information.
