Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, NIU is hosting a home football game that will impact parking. The following parking lots will be closed beginning midnight Friday, Sept. 22, 2023, and will reopen one hour after the football game ends:
- Lot PS, southwest of Stevenson Towers.
- Lots L and K, southeast of the stadium.
- Lots H and 35, west of Barsema Alumni and Visitors Center.
- Stadium Drives North, East, South and West.
Vehicles left in these lots without an NIU Football Game Day Parking pass may be relocated at the owner’s expense.
Students and faculty/staff who usually park in these areas are asked to seek alternative, legal parking solutions during this time frame. To determine whether this will impact you, please review the map so that you can plan accordingly.
