Parking Tips
• Arrive early on weekends — popular lots (P3, P5, P7) fill by 9–10 AM
• P7 Kingsmere is the largest lot (180 spots) — good backup option
• Have a backup lot — if your first choice is full, try a nearby lot in the same area
• Season passes — can be shared between two vehicles at the same address
