Help with parking
Driving up from Georgia for WMU-GSU game and need assistance with visitor parking. Wife has mobility issues so need to be as close as possible. We have a handicap parking placard if needed. Help, please.

This link should get you started, I'd call the number in there.


General Parking Information
Lots 1, 2, 3, (located off Oakland) and 13 (located next to the Kanley track) are open to the public and will cost $10 per vehicle the day of the game.
Lot 105 will be the designated lot for WMU students. The cost of parking will be $10 per vehicle to be paid upon entering the lot.
All other lots will cost $10 per vehicle the day of the game
A shuttle service runs continuously from Lawson Ice Arena to Waldo Stadium beginning three (3) hours prior to kickoff. The shuttle runs continuously throughout the game dropping off at the corner of Stadium Drive and West Michigan Avenue.
Handicap parking is available in lot #4 off of Oakland Drive and lot #6 located east of the Seelye Center off of Stadium Drive.

Thanks for the help. Looking forward to coming to game....hopefully some cool weather. After WMU's win against Northwestern I'm very very worried. We have a new coach this year and last Saturday we were not really tested. (54-o against Savannah State, a FCS school 50 miles from our campus). This weekend will be more definitive playing South Alabama from our conference who knocked of Mississippi State last weekend. Hopefully we can give y'all a good game.

Thanks for help.

You might want to call ahead and get some more definitive information if your wife is having a hard time. Our campus/stadium is in the side of a hill and it's no easy task to negotiate if you make a wrong turn or don't know where you're going.

Have a GREAT TIME in Kalamazoo. Good time to visit Michigan.

RE: Help with parking
I believe if you call and explain the mobility issues, and that you have a handicapped sticker for car you will be directed to the handicapped accommodations, and will have no issues. Like any football stadium, the aisles are difficult to negotiate. There are also tons of workers everywhere, and I think they will help too.

RE: Help with parking
My wife had mobility issues a few years ago, and this is what worked best for us. Lot 4 is a small (very small) lot on Oakland Drive straight across the street from an entrance into the stadium. However, it is a small lot and fills quickly, so you will need to plan to get there early. You will need your placard to park there.

You don't have to worry about seats or stairs. From lot 4 it is a level walk into the top of the stadium. The walkway goes under the press box with short tunnels leading into the seating area. As you come out of the tunnels you will see a level area with folding chairs set up. These are specifally reserved for people with mobility issues. No special ticket is needed, and you can take any available seat. Good news is that there are always seats available.

Hope you have an enjoyable Saturday. Just not too enjoyable, as that would be at the expense of WMU.

Suspect he only came out to help a guy in need, which would be true to his character, nice man.

The fighting persrods made it so he didn't want post here any longer. #brownandgoldroom
