How to park for the basketball and soccer games?

Hey guys. I want to go to the basketball and soccer games as an alumni. (I graduated 3 years ago). I got some questions about the games and parking.

1. Are the soccer and basketball game tickets free for alumni? (If you show your Mason ID)

2. Where can I get free parking as an alumni?

3. Where am I allowed to sit in Eagle Bank Arena?


Thanks

Hi- for basketball I don’t think tickets are free but they run discounts all the time and usually have some for alumni. If you need tickets let me know since I will have some games available. No idea for soccer but guessing it’s the same thing.

parking usually is free on game nights in K and A. It might be more of a challenge on a school night.

you can sit wherever you buy tickets. There’s no specific alumni section. I do think the young alumni offers they do for season ticket holders might have specific sections.

So it looks like for the basketball games I can park for free at Lot K and Lot A. Is that the same for the soccer games?

All Fall Sports this season are totally free admission, including men's and women's soccer. Parking is free on game days in Lots M, O, and P (the lots by the Field House) starting 2(?) hours before gametime. Just pay attention to the signs, as some individual spaces are reserved.

Every school year is different, but parking generally hasn't been an issue in recent seasons, even on school nights, as long as you arrive before the last minute. Parking Services will have signs and, if necessary, police and parking staff to direct you. For big games, they may direct you to overflow locations such as Lot C.

I remember when they expanded Ring Rd., now Patriot Circle, past the dead end at the old gym, built Lot K, and had a new dead end at Lot K. I was about the only one who parked there, but I enjoyed the walk through the woods to get to the classroom buildings.

I've only been to one soccer game but I'm pretty sure for soccer games you can just park at the Field House.

He was tired from all the trips through the primeval forest. :giggle:
Nice of you to have a sense of humor about it all. The older one gets, and the circumstances one faces, reinforces the fact that youth is wasted on the young.
