UH versus Rice - Parking Changes, Thursday, October 27: Due to the garage construction and limited parking around campus, fans will not be allowed entry into their respective lots until 2:00 PM on game day. Any entry into your lot prior to 2:00 PM risks the chance of receiving a ticket. Beginning at 2:00 PM only vehicles with a proper game day parking pass will have access into the lots adjacent to Robertson Stadium and 16B/C and 16D. Houston Athletics has worked with UH Parking and Transportation to create a plan that benefits our fans as well as the UH community for classes and we feel this is a solution that works for all parties.
