Miscellaneous Parking Policies and Procedures

  • The University of Michigan will not be responsible for loss or damage to vehicles or its contents parked for a football game.
  • Holders of football permits should clearly display their permits from the rearview mirror of their cars to assist parking personnel in directing them to the proper lots. Permits should be displayed at all times (even when entering the game) to avoid being towed.
  • All drivers should be alert to instructions from the uniformed police officers and parking personnel who will be directing traffic.
  • Patrons are reminded that normal parking regulations apply on game day. Vehicles parked in fire lanes, at the end of aisles, and in any other illegal location will be ticketed and/or towed. If you are unable to find a legal parking space, please see a parking attendant for assistance.
  • Spaces are available on a first-come, first serve basis.
  • Spaces may not be reserved for later arriving vehicles unless authorized by the UM Athletic Department.
  • Overnight parking is prohibited in all UM Football game-day parking lots.
  • Vehicles should vacate the lot within two hours after the game or vehicles may be towed.
  • AUTO passes allow vehicles to park in one (1) designated space.
  • RV’s passes allow RV’s 4 spaces and they must not expand past their 4 designated spaces. The full vehicle including awnings, expansion sides, mirrors, tables, chairs, coolers, etc. must stay within the lined parking spaces allotted.
  • Tailgate accessory equipment may NOT be placed in any designated parking space unless it is one of the four (4) spaces designated for an RV.
  • Space is very limited; throwing of footballs or other objects should be kept to minimal distances and out of roadways and other tailgater’s areas. Repeat offenders may have their objects confiscated. Please be considerate of other fans trying to park in the lot.
  • Fans may not display flags, balloons, signs or the like more than 20 feet above the parking lot surface and also may not undertake any promotional, advertising or marketing activities in UM lots without written authorization from the Athletic Department.
  • After the game, Main Street/Ann Arbor-Saline Road is one way southbound from Michigan Stadium to Interstate-94. Post-game southbound traffic along South Main Street will include stop-and-go traffic signals at the Scio Church/South Main and Ann Arbor-Saline/South Main intersections. This is intended to provide safer crossing opportunities for pedestrians. The traffic signal operation will be manually controlled and activated when pedestrians accumulate at the crosswalks.
  • For more information regarding purchasing parking permits, please call the Ticket Office at 734-764-0247. Please call the Game Operations Voice Mail at (734) 647-9977 with problems or concerns about parking operations.
