Parking Services has notified us that Lot 34 outside West Hall will still be available this Saturday, although it will not be sectioned off as it usually is on Game Days. Typically, one half of the lot is reserved for students/faculty and the other is for paying users attending the game. Due to the Akron Marathon and a home game taking place on the same day, they will not have enough cones to section of the lot this Saturday.
