parking tips for grand canyon university lopes mens basketball vs. stetson hatters mens basketball at global credit union arena (phoenix 12/02)

hey lopes fans, figured i'd share some parking info for the game against stetson on 12/02 at 7:00 pm. even though gcu has free parking, the area around the arena can still get crazy right before tip-off, and everyone heads for the same spot.

if you hate the traffic snarl getting into the official garages, check out prked. it's an app where people rent out their driveways and garages right next to the university. honestly, it can be a lifesaver for convenience, letting you skip the line of cars trying to get into campus lots, and the walk is usually shorter than if you get stuck on the top floor of a far garage.

now, for the official info, which is great news: parking for men's basketball games at global credit union arena is actually free . the main parking for guests with single-game tickets is the **31st avenue parking garage** . for this one, you want to enter on 30th drive to get in quickly . season ticket holders or people with specific placards (check your color pass) get reserved spots in the 33rd avenue garage .

if you have an ada placard, accessible parking is available on the first floor of the 33rd avenue garage .

for traffic flow, they use a special game-day route. the main entrance for guests is at **34th avenue and camelback road**, and you'll exit out 35th avenue when it's over . plan your drive to hit that 34th avenue entrance. since doors open two hours before the game, or at 5:00 pm for the 7:00 pm start, getting there early is the best defense against sitting in traffic on camelback .

if you're using rideshare, tell your driver to aim for the corner of **colter and 30th drive** for drop-off and pick-up to keep them out of the main parking chaos . remember the clear-bag policy (12" x 12" x 6" max) and no re-entry if you step out .

hope this helps everyone get in smooth and fast so you can cheer on the lopes!
