Plan Ahead: UW vs. Iowa on Oct. 9

Husky home games always bring a lot of excitement — and a lot of traffic — to our Seattle campus. With fans arriving by bus, light rail, car, bike, van and even boat, getting to Husky Stadium is a team effort. 

The UW vs. Iowa game kicks off at 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9. Thanks to the rise in remote work and the later kickoff, congestion isn’t expected to be as heavy as in the past. However, with a weekday evening start time, it’s still worth planning ahead. Here are a few key things to know:

Getting to campus on Oct. 9:   

    • Use sustainable transportation.Whether you’re coming to campus for work, class or the game, everyone is encouraged to take transit, bike, walk, carpool or use a shuttle.
    • UW staff:Don’t forget your fully subsidized U-PASS— it’s a great way to take advantage of public transportation options. 
    • Game attendees:Parking will be limited, so please take transit or carpool if you can to save time and stress. Check the Oct. 9 Gameday Parking Map for specific details on when parking lots open up.
    • Parking attendants will be on hand to help — please be patient, as many lots will fill gradually throughout the day due to regular staff and student use.  

Parking info for permit holders: Parking permit holders will receive separate emails directing them where to park on Oct. 9, but the general plan is as follows: 

    • Lots opening at 10 a.m.: E1, E6, E8, E9, TG/IMA, E17, E15RV, E12, E20
    • Lots opening at 1 p.m.: Stadium Parking Garage, Padelford, N25, N24, C1

    • Single Game Public Parking: Single game general public parking will be very limited for the Oct. 9 game and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Attendees will need to pay for parking via the Pay-By-Phone app or with a credit card.
