On-campus parking to be altered for Marshall-WVU game
HUNTINGTON -- Beginning the evening of Thursday, Sept. 9, Marshall University will alter normal parking procedures in and around the Huntington campus because of the Thundering Herd's home football game against West Virginia University on Friday, Sept. 10. Game time is 7 p.m.
All athletic permit lots will close at 9 p.m. Thursday, including the Joan C. Edwards Stadium west lot, Annex 1, Annex 2, C lot and the Softball lot. Any automobile still on those lots at 10 a.m. Friday will be towed at the owner's expense,
Employees and students who normally park in the athletic lots can park in the garage on 3rd Avenue across from Cam Henderson Center or on surface lots on 6th Avenue.
Beginning at 8 a.m. Friday, parking officers will staff those lots to control access to Marshall employees and student permit holders only.
At noon, all lots on campus -- excluding the athletic permit lots and the pay-per-space lot east of Corbly Hall -- will be open to the public for the game-day parking rate of $5 per space. The lot near Corbly will be closed for a university function.
Tailgating is permitted to begin at noon, though no alcohol can be consumed on university property until 3 p.m. At that time, alcohol consumption is only allowed in tailgate-designated areas. No alcohol consumption is permitted within the main campus at any time.
