Penn State Transportation Services has issued a parking advisory for fans attending remaining 2019-20 Penn State Wrestling matches at Rec Hall.

With construction of the new West Campus Parking Deck now underway, approximately 275 Red A parking spaces have permanently closed, which will significantly reduce the number of Red A spaces available for Penn State Wrestling events this season.

To provide an additional parking option and an overflow location if both Red A and the Nittany Parking Deck reach capacity, Eisenhower Parking Deck will be available for Penn State Wrestling parking for the remainder of the 2019-20 season. No ticket or permit will be required, but like Red A and Nittany Deck, parking will only be available beginning 90 minutes prior to the start of the event through 90 minutes after matches have concluded. Fans are encouraged to arrive as early as possible for the best chance at parking at Red A or Nittany Deck and to have ample time to reach Rec Hall if directed to park at Eisenhower Deck.

For fans who would prefer a closer parking option when Red A and Nittany Deck are full, Transportation Services offers an evening/weekend parking permit for just $6 per month that provides access to most faculty/staff parking areas across campus on weekdays after 4 p.m. and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. This permit would allow Wrestling fans to park at several areas located close to Rec Hall, including Green B, Brown E, Yellow E and Brown A. Visit the Transportation Services website to learn more.

For more information on Penn State Wrestling parking or the evening/weekend parking permit program, please email parking@psu.edu or call 814-865-1436.

Well, that is going to make parking even more of a mess. Hopefully the new parking deck things will be much better next season. Meanwhile, sounds like a golden opportunity for someone to start up a shuttle service. I'll be the first customer in line. :D

Why am I picturing you Ubering a ride from your car to the gym? Lol

Like clockwork - the old heads on here bitching about parking.

Like blue hairs at the bingo hall pissed that all the red jello is gone
I do like me some Jell-O.

A weekend/evening parking permit is a good deal, but will not help anyone with mobility issues that shows up at close-proximity parking lots that are full. Only arriving earlier helps.

Are you saying Rec Hall is not ADA compliant as regards to parking?
 
when I attended a dual with my dad last year, we took an Uber to the front door. I’m not sure he could’ve handled much more walking than that. Ultimately, this new deck will relieve some of the pressure. Patience is a long lost but no less important virtue...

No, I don't see that anywhere in my post. The university's ADA compliance re. parking is easily found with a simple search.

But that's not my gist. I know a good many fans personally that have mobility issues, most without an ADA license plate or placard. Pretty sure there's many I don't know. The Uber / Lyft idea is a good one.
