Drake University will host the Iowa State High School Track meet May 19–21, and the following parking lots will be closed:
- Lot 18 North starting on Tuesday, May 17
- Lot 18 South, Lot 2 and Lot 4 from May 19 to May 21
Lots 1, 2, 3, 10, 33 and the IM lot will be pay lots throughout the event for visitors. Drake faculty, students, and staff with valid Drake permits may park in the lots at no charge between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. Please be sure to let the attendants know where your permit is on your car so they can verify and not charge you for parking. Review the 2016 State Track and Field Parking map for locations of parking changes.
Please expect more congested traffic patterns similar to what we see during the Drake Relays. In addition to the lots closed for State Track, 50 percent of the Olmsted lot will be closed for a special event on Thursday, May 19.
