Parking on Campus

Visitors may park in most campus lots after 4:00 PM weekdays and all day on the weekend. See the Evanston Campus Parking Map to find a lot closest to your student's place of residence.

For Family Weekend, weekday parking restrictions will be waived in three lots on Friday:

  • South Beach (located on Campus Drive just east of Fisk Hall)
  • North Beach (located on Campus Drive just west of the sports pavilion)
  • Garrett (located on east side of Sheridan Road, just south of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary)

Football Parking on Saturday

There is no day-of-game parking at Ryan Field.  Street parking around the stadium is extremely limited, and if parked illegally, violators will be towed.  If you do not have a season parking permit, we recommend using the University's free shuttle or public transportation. 

For public transportation, take the CTA purple line to the Central Street Station, 1-1/2 blocks east of Ryan Field.  METRA service is also available.  The METRA station is located 2 blocks west of Ryan Field.
