SATURDAY

Due to the homecoming football game on Saturday, we are unable to offer free parking for UW Family Weekend and UW Family Tailgate guests. There are many great public transportation options, including the Link light rail, or you can choose to pay for game day parking – whether you are attending the UW Family Tailgate, the homecoming football game, or just visiting campus.

Please note that game day traffic is heavily congested, and we strongly recommend public transportation if possible.

For ADA parking near the UW Family Tailgate and Husky Stadium:

There are a limited number of ADA and mobility-limited parking permits available for advance sale on a single-game basis. Single-game ADA and mobility-limited parking permits may be purchased in advance through the Husky Ticket Office by emailing tickets@uw.edu or by calling 206-543-2200. A valid state-issued disability parking placard or ID card is needed for purchase.

For day-of game ADA and mobility-limited parking needs, parking can be purchased on-site at the E01 parking lot on a limited first-come, first-served basis. To access the lot, please present a valid state-issued disability parking placard or ID to the parking attendant.

Dawg Sleds, our game-day golf carts serving Husky Stadium, are available to drive fans from the E01 parking lot near Husky Ballpark to the north and south entrances of Husky Stadium starting two hours prior to kickoff. The sleds continue to run on a limited basis during the game and are available to take fans back to the E01 parking lot after the game from the north and south stadium entrances.

SUNDAY

Parking is free in all campus parking lots on Sunday.  Please feel free to park in any lot closest to your campus destination.

DINING & DIETARY NEEDS

Where is your Husky’s favorite place to eat? Is it somewhere on campus? In the U District? U Village? We invite you to talk to your Husky and eat together at their favorite spot.

We always do our best to provide a variety of menu options to accommodate all needs and create a safe and inclusive food experience for every guest.  On-campus dining locations offer choices for guests who have food allergies or intolerances, follow medically-related dietary restrictions, choose a vegan or vegetarian diet, or follow religious dietary restrictions or food traditions.

For more information visit our nutrition page.

If you are attending the UW Family Tailgate, dietary options will be clearly posted at each vendor tent or food truck.
