Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q: I have been a loyal season ticket holder, my friends and I have tailgated in Lot 11b for many years. Can I still tailgate with my friends in this cash lot, even if we arrive at different times? A: Yes. The cash lots will operate as they always have. We ask that you respect your fellow fans and adhere to the one car per one space rule to allow plenty of room for everyone. You may set up your tailgate on any green space or at the end of your parking space (as long as you do not block the driving lanes). Q: I was mailed a Yellow Zone Cash Permit, but I would like to park in Lot T near the Engineering Building. Can I swap permits? A: Yes. Please call the Terrapin Ticket Office at 1-800-IM-A-TERP to request a specific color-zoned permit. Q: I have four season tickets and received 1 cash permit with my tickets. Can I request additional cash permits? A: Yes. Please call the Terrapin Ticket Office at 1-800-IM-A-TERP to request additional cash permits. Additional permits in Terrapin Club lots are not available. Q: I am a Terrapin Club member with parking in Lot 1. My friend is also a Terrapin Club member who parks in Lot 9b. How can we tailgate together? A: Lot 1 and Lot 9b are sold out, so we can not issue any additional permits in those Terrapin Club lots. The only currently available Terrapin Club surface lot is Paint Branch Lot. If you'd like to tailgate with your friend, please return your existing permits and we will provide you with the same number of permits in the Paint Branch Lot. Q: I don't have season tickets, but plan on attending a few single games. Can I still park on campus? A: Yes. If you order your tickets (either online or over the phone) outside of 10 calendar days, we will automatically include a color-zoned cash permit with your tickets. If you order tickets within 10 calendar days of the game (or purchase tickets at the box office at the stadium on the day of the game), you will be directed to a cash garage lot - Mowatt Lane Garage, Regents Drive Garage or Terrapin Trail Garage. Q: What are the benefits of joining the Terrapin Club to get preferred parking? A: There are many. First, your support of the Terrapin Club goes directly to providing scholarships for deserving student-athletes. Second, members enjoy preferred lots, better seating options inside the stadium, and a host of additional benefits. And third, Terrapin Club members pay only $10 per game (a 33% savings over cash lots). For more information on supporting the Terrapin Club, please call (301) 314-7020 or visit www.TerrapinClub.com. Q: If I am a Maryland student, where can I park? A: Starting this season, Maryland athletics will make 100 cash lot permits available to students on a per game basis. These permits may be picked up at the Terrapin Ticket Office in the Comcast Center on a first-come, first-serve basis starting the week of each game. Students can use these cash permits and pay $15 on the day of the game. Maryland students may also park in the following areas free of charge: Lots C2, L, K, visitors center, and the Rossborough meters. |
