Parking information for fans:
• Parking is available in campus lots during the regional tournament. The large lot (Lot L), adjacent to the athletic field and Si Melby Hall/Kennedy Center, will be available. There will be spots reserved for medical personnel in Lot K (the lot just north of Si Melby Hall).
• If campus lots are full, parking is also available in the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview "Yellow Ramp" (click for map). The entrance is located off of 23rd Avenue South, north of Riverside Avenue and behind the HealthPartners clinic -- roughly a two-block walk to the Augsburg athletic facilities. There are no in-out privileges at the Fairview lots/ramps. The ramp is often the best alternative to avoiding the parking crunch of on-street parking on gamedays.
