Parking considerations during football season

The following parking considerations and restrictions will be in place on the dates listed below.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Scott Law at scott.law@drake.edu.

Friday, Aug. 31: Drake will be hosting the West Des Moines Dowling vs. West Des Moines Valley football game at 7 p.m. at Drake Stadium—one of the largest high school football games in the Des Moines area. Please expect increased traffic and vehicles on and around campus. There are no lot closings or restrictions in place for the game.

Saturday, Sept. 1: Drake Football vs. William Jewell at 6 p.m. The Studio Arts lot (STAH – 18S) will be closed starting at 2 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 1. In addition, tailgating will occur in the Stadium lot (18N), so we strongly encourage students, faculty, and staff to park in other lots for the day. Please note that the same restrictions will be in place on the following dates for home football games, Sept. 1, Sept. 15, Oct. 6, Oct. 13, Nov. 3, and Nov. 10.
