BEFORE & AFTER GAMES: The Science Factory operates three parking lots during Duck football games: SF1 (grass, preferred), SF2 (grass, regular, oversized vehicles and motor homes), and DYS (paved, reserved space at Dept. of Youth Services, on MLK Blvd). Prior to arriving, check your assigned parking lot and plan your travel route, as streets are strictly controlled on game days.
Arrival – Vehicles will NOT be allowed to enter any parking lots until FOUR HOURS BEFORE GAME TIME. Please DO NOT arrive earlier as you will be asked to wait or circle in traffic! Game times do change, even after game times have been posted. Check on game day to ensure an appropriate arrival time. Absolutely no overnight camping in any lot, your vehicle will be towed.
Departure - Expect delays of up to one hour after games. Traffic flow is controlled by police. Vehicles may be prevented from exiting the parking lot between the 4th quarter of games and continuing up to 30 minutes after games
due to pedestrian and bus traffic . Please observe all parking lot personnel directions and

If you wish to be adjacent to other vehicles, please meet with your group off-site in advance at a designated area (we recommend Alton Baker Park) and enter the parking lot together.
