Men’s Basketball vs. NC State
Jan 16, 2016 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Pedestrian Bridge
The University of North Carolina has installed a new set of stairs and a pedestrian bridge in the Bowles parking lot to improve the traffic flow for both pedestrians and vehicles following men’s basketball games at the Dean E. Smith Center, which is adjacent to the Bowles Lot.
The stairs and bridge will be accessible beginning with Saturday’s game vs. NC State, which tips off at Noon. The permanent staircase that connects Bowles Lot to Blythe Drive will be closed on gameday.
The stairs and bridge were installed to make it easier for fans coming from and going to the arena from parking lots and decks located in the Manning Drive, UNC Hospitals corridor.
Pedestrians are encouraged to use the stairs and bridge, which opens onto Blythe Drive behind Ram Village at Paul Hardin Drive, from the center of the Bowles Lot, rather than crossing the entrances/exits on Bowles Drive. That will allow vehicles to leave the lots unimpeded and reduce the amount of time it takes for the lots to clear after games.
Public Parking (standard sized vehicles) is available in the following lots:
- $5 Bell Tower Deck
- $10 Boshamer Lots
- $10 Cardinal Deck
- $10 Jackson deck
- $10 Navy Field
- $10 Family Practice Lot (Permits can be purchased at Family Practice Lot entrance – limited number available 1.5 hours prior to game time)
Disability Parking is reserved for UNC men’s basketball games in the Rams Head Deck located off of Ridge Road. Parking is $10 per vehicle.
Limo Parking is available on Blythe Drive only at $10 per vehicle. Limos are not allowed to drop-off/pick-up in front of the Smith Center. These areas are reserved to accommodate Tar Heel Express and Rams Head Shuttle Services.
Charter Bus accommodations should be submitted at least 72 hours in advance by completing the Basketball Request Form. Charter Bus parking is $40 per game.
Parking lots throughout campus are designated as reserved Rams Club Parking for basketball game day patrons.
