Special Events & Construction Parking

There are many events that occur throughout campus on a daily basis. Parking & Transportation Services will assist in making your event successful. We understand the importance of building on excellence on all levels. If you are planning an event or need construction parking we can provide parking information, reserve parking spaces, remove bollards and assist with staffing when necessary. 

Departments can complete and submit the online Special Event/Construction Staffing Request Form to our special events team.

For Viejas Arena and Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre events, we collect a minimum of $31 per car at designated parking locations. We are using a cashless, contactless payment system. Please arrive with any major credit card, ApplePay or GooglePay as a payment option.

Parking at Calpulli Center or P8 will require a permit purchase through PayByPhone, using access code 28508.

If a parking attendant is not present at event locations, a pay station or PayByPhone permit is required for the time you are parked. 

Parking in areas not designated for special events will result in a $70 citation.

For Men's Basketball, season pass ticketholders may park in P6, P7, P12 or P3. Non-season-pass-ticketholders pay $31 in P12 or $26 in P3 per car. If a parking attendant is not present at event locations, a pay station or PayByPhone permit is required for the time you are parked.

Patrons attending all other athletic events are required to buy a permit from the pay station or through PayByPhone.
