Where is the best place to park if you don't have a parking pass? Can you park on campus and take CyRide like you can for football games?

Park to the neighborhood west of Hilton. You'll walk further but can get out right away.

If you get there early, the free lots are usually pretty empty (west side of the lots). Otherwise try parking on Country Club, and take back streets out.

So I haven't been to Hilton in a few years (and coming tonight) so this may be a stupid quesiton. Isn't there general admission parking in the back between Hilton and the Jack?

Free lots are on the west side now. It's paid parking between Hilton and Jack Trice.

If you are parking in handicapped, show up early. These fill up fast these days, and then you have to park in free lots. They used to let you go into the paid lots, but they closed that off last game. Made it really hard to pick up at the west side.

Last year, I was late to a few games and they had opened the donor lots to the public shortly after tip-off. Could be a great option for those needing more accessible parking, but not able to arrive early. I was able to park in C-4 (the second lot from Hilton headed toward Jack Trice).
