SUBJECT:    Stadium parking impacted by JSU events


I want to make you aware of several upcoming events at Veterans Memorial Stadium that will impact parking availability for UMMC.

On the dates listed below, college football games or a band competition will be held in the stadium. During these events, all stadium parking lots will be closed to UMMC personnel.

As always, UMMC employees or students scheduled for night, weekend or holiday shifts may park in campus surface lots or request garage access by emailing FacilitiesServices-Parking@umc.edu. Please note that UMMC employees or students attending stadium events are not permitted to park on campus, which will be audited during these time periods.

On Friday evenings prior to Jackson State University home games, all vehicles must be removed from the Stadium Overflow Lot by 5:30 p.m. to accommodate JSU tailgating activities. Vehicles remaining after that time will be towed. In addition, beginning at 4 a.m. on game days, vehicles parked in any of the stadium lots will be towed.

Please take note of the following event dates:

Aug. 30             JSU Football
Aug. 31             Battle of the Bands
Sept. 13            JSU Football
Oct. 11             JSU Football
Nov. 15             JSU Football
Nov. 22             JSU Football

Any changes or additions to this schedule that affect UMMC will be communicated through the UMMC Intranet. For questions or additional information, please email FacilitiesServices-Parking@umc.edu.

I appreciate your cooperation in ensuring safe and efficient parking operations during these events.

Thank you.
