After the Game

Due to the high-volume of outgoing traffic post game, it is best to avoid entering or driving on campus for 60 minutes following the end of a game. Fans leaving the game should expect delays of up to 60 minutes exiting the parking lots.

Permit holders who must drive into campus during post-game traffic must enter at Regent Drive from northbound Broadway. Show the parking attendant your CU Boulder parking permit (virtual permits will be scanned by license plate number) and tell them you are seeking access to your residence hall or work site; you will be directed to an available parking space. To avoid receiving a ticket please follow their directions.
