PLEASE COME EARLY. Gameday traffic patterns will go into effect a minimum of 2 hours prior to kickoff each game.

In anticipation of the Indiana Department of Transportation's planned construction on the 45/46 Bypass, Indiana University is adopting a new gameday traffic plan that will take effect during the 2009 football season. While the construction schedule has not yet been finalized, Indiana University is adopting this new pre- and post-game traffic patterns with the goal of improving traffic flow for the current season and future construction phases.

Please read the following information carefully to plan your route to Memorial Stadium. In the interest of improving flow into stadium lots, we also request you purchase a parking permit in advance from the IU Athletics Ticket Office (866-IUSPORTS).

Postgame Traffic Information
The post-game traffic plan will also focus on one-way traffic patterns to allow vehicles quicker access to highways and main thoroughfares. Dunn Street and Fee Lane will both be one-way northbound to the 45/46 Bypass. The 45/46 Bypass will be one-way westbound from Fee Lane to Walnut Street and one-way eastbound from Fee Lane to 17th Street.

A post-game pedestrian crossing area will be created on 17th Street between Fess and Woodlawn Avenues to allow foot traffic to more easily cross from the stadium lots to the grass parking lots. On either side of the pedestrian crossing area, 17th Street will be one-way heading away from the Memorial Stadium.
