This is an announcement of parking and traffic changes that will take
      place Saturday, Aug 30 and on Sunday, Aug 31 when we have our first home

• Resident Section of Duck Pond Road Lot (the Cage)
          
• Prices Fork Lots (large commuter lots next to Prices Fork Road)

ALL vehicles must be removed from these lots & roads by 10 pm on
      Saturday or be subject to towing. If you have an event planned for
      Saturday evening that involves one of these lots, please contact Parking
      Services so we can accommodate your needs.

Two hours before the game starts on Sunday (at 3 pm), traffic on
      Washington St, Southgate Dr, and Spring Rd will become one way toward the
      football stadium. Traffic on Duck Pond Dr will also become one way toward
      the stadium from Southgate Dr to Washington St. After the game the streets
      directions will reverse until the traffic flow returns to normal.

The public will be charged $5 for parking on campus during all other
      football games. This only applies to folks who do NOT have a valid VT
      parking permit (if you display a permit there's no charge). The lots used
      by the public are Prices Fork Road Lots and Perry Street Lots (large
      commuter lots next to Prices Fork Road and Perry Street).

Public RVs must park in the Duck Pond Lot and will be charged $15.

The Blacksburg Transit will run buses on all normal routes for the
      weekend and will add additional buses as needed. All home game days will
      be fare-free for BT. Another option this year is off-campus public parking
      at four locations in the town of Blacksburg. BT football shuttles will run
      to the stadium starting three hours before game time from the parking lot
      by Blacksburg High School, Harding Avenue Elementary School and from the
      new Blacksburg Middle School at 15 minute intervals. They will continue to
      run for two hours after the game. Public parking will also be available at
      the old Blacksburg Middle School and Gilbert Linkous Elementary School for
      patrons to walk or ride the regular BT routes to the stadium. There is a
      $5 charge for parking in these community lots. There is also an Airport
      Shuttle for patron of the VT/Montgomery Exec Airport running to the
      stadium starting three hours before until two hours after the game.

Handicap parking will be available in the Upper Stanger Lot (located
      across Stanger Street from Durham Hall). Signs will be posted for guidance
      to this area. Handicap shuttles will transport persons from this lot to
      the stadium before, during, and after the game.

      during which parking and traffic will be impacted: Sep 6 (Saturday), Sep
