WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR BEARKAT GAMEDAY
TRAFFIC CHANGES AND PARKING AT BOWERS STADIUM FOR 2016 SEASON
Bearkat fans attending the Sam Houston State University football game on Nov. 5 against McNeese should be aware of the conversion of portions of Bobby K. Marks Drive and Bearkat Boulevard to one-way traffic.
The change, which took place earlier this summer, transitions traffic heading east on Bearkat Boulevard to one-way from University Avenue to Bobby K. Marks Drive and south to one-way along Bobby K. Marks Drive.
In addition to the changing traffic patterns, more than 200 new parking spaces have been installed in segments along the two streets. Although the new parking spaces require payment from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday, parking in the spaces on Saturday game days will be available at no charge.
As in the past, parking also will be available nearby in the Lot 14 - the stadium lot for VIP season ticket holders; Lot 12 - the lot across the street and east of Johnson Coliseum; and Lots 5 and 7 - northwest of the stadium.
Routes with several options from different directions are available at the bottom of this page.
