PARKING

Event Parking on ASU Football Saturday - ASU Traffic and Parking has stated that there are no parking restrictions after kickoff, so Saturday event participants need not worry about that.  Friday event participants must move their vehicles by 7 am Saturday, so that will not be a problem either.

The best parking choices are the Rankin and Edwin Duncan Lots
