TTU and Cookeville will host the TSSAA high school football championship series games on the TTU campus Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 1, 2, and 3. As part of the contract for the TSSAA events in Tucker Stadium, parking on our campus will be affected. We appreciate your cooperation as we host this special event on campus.

The campus community is encouraged to make alternate plans about arriving and parking on campus during the Thursday and Friday sessions. Organizers say that all parking lots and spaces on the stadium side of University Drive will be converted to paid or reserved parking during the event. This area extends from Walton House to beyond the baseball stadium and north to 12th Street. It will include the large lots behind the library and between the Hooper Eblen Center and Tucker Stadium, as well as areas around Johnson, Foster and Bryan Fine Arts buildings. The lot across the street from Pennebaker Hall will be reserved for faculty and staff parking during the day. (TSSAA Parking Map)

In an effort to make more TTU parking available to students and to accommodate visitors for the Candlelight Concert on Dec. 2-3, several special arrangements are being planned:

Students: Parking may be limited. Areas marked in gray on this map will not be available to you during the event.

However, all remaining faculty/staff lots will be available to students as open parking with your current student parking permit on Thursday and Friday, Dec. 1 and 2.

Faculty/Staff: Faculty and staff are encouraged to park in the former Prescott Middle School lot, carpool or park off-campus and take advantage of the CATS bus routes. The Cookeville First Baptist Church, located .9 miles from campus at 100 S. Walnut Ave., has extended use of their gravel parking lot to anyone in the campus community who would like to park a vehicle and carpool or walk. The FBC lot is located on the corner of S. Walnut Avenue and Spring Street.

Visitors to Candlelight Concert: On Dec. 2 and 3, the commuter lot across Dixie Ave. from the Bryan Fine Arts building will be reserved for campus visitors attending the Candlelight Concert. These lots will have attendants and be clearly marked as concert parking; there will be no charge to park for concert attendees.

Purrfect information about CATS: You might find that the CATS system will allow you to skip the hassle of finding a parking space on Thursday and Friday. Check out the route schedule at www.uchra.com/cats/GrnPurpSchd.htm.

Walk or Bicycle to Campus

Though the weather forecast will likely be chilly, it's still a great opportunity to walk or bicycle to campus if you live within a mile.

Where not to Park

Please park in permit areas only. Do not park on the grass, in fire lanes or other areas not normally designated as parking. Handicap parking will still require a designated handicap tag. Do not block service or mail spots.
