To ensure you do not miss the excitement, we encourage visitors to consider arriving early in order to find a parking spot and get to the parade route on time. After 4pm, visitors may park in designated lots on campus (Lot 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Lots 2 & 14 will be closed for parade staging. Please refrain from parking in Health Center, Hall Director, or 24-hour reserved spots.
Starting at 5:15pm, Lots 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 will temporarily close for the duration of the parade. These lots will re-open as the parade passes by. If you plan to park in these lots, please arrive early and plan to stay through the duration of the parade.
Game day parking guidelines will go into effect at 11pm on Friday evening. Towing and $225 fines will be issued for any vehicle that is not relocated by the stated deadline to help ensure a safe and organized game day for the entire Horned Frog community. Whether you’re a student, commuter, faculty, staff member, or visitor, your cooperation is essential.
If you are a TCU student, faculty, or staff member parked in Lots 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, or 7 and plan to leave campus that evening, we encourage you to depart by 5:00 p.m. to avoid delays or disruptions related to evening activities.
