Friday Parking – Parking will be available at an hourly rate in the Tuttle Park Place Garage.  Parking fees will be paid on the way OUT of the garage.  Please be prepared to pay by credit card.  Paying by credit card will allow transactions to occur more efficiently than cash transactions.  There may be a line formed to exit, so please exercise patience when exiting the garage. 

Saturday and Sunday Parking – Parking will be available at an hourly rate in the Neil Avenue Garage.  Parking fees will be paid on the way OUT of the garage.  Please be prepared to pay by credit card.  Paying by credit card will allow transactions to occur more efficiently than cash transactions.  There will likely be a line formed to exit, so please exercise patience when exiting the garage.  Those who wish to avoid the possibility of experiencing a wait to exit the garage, or who would like to pay a flat rate, should park legally in an A, B, or C parking space in the Ohio Stadium lot (unrestricted spaces only) and pay the Pay-n-Display machine by credit card before parking.  Parking cards should be displayed as directed.

Getting to the Pool – Please note that John Herrick Drive is temporarily closed for steam tunnel repairs.  If your GPS advises you to use Herrick between Cannon and Neil, 12^th Avenue should be used as an alternate route.

Coaches Hospitality – Due to the length and timing of the sessions we will provide bagels, yogurt, coffee and snacks for the prelims sessions and a light dinner during finals; however lunch will not be provided.  Please plan accordingly.

We look forward to your visit this weekend!  See you soon!
