If they wish to stay on site, they should use the loop turn around (south of the stadium) and park along the roadway there. </p><p>Player Drop Off Access Pre-game drop-off and post-game pickup may be difficult due to the congestion in the parking lot of cars trying to enter and exit and spectators walking throughout the lot. During busy games, buses will remain at the south end of the stadium and players will be asked to access the buses at this location. Players can be dropped off and picked up at the Southeast corner gate of the field if they would like a separate entrance/exit. As well, they can access the facility through the front entrance.</p><p>Dressing Rooms Four dressing rooms with full shower facilities are available for use.

Any vehicles parked illegally will be asked to move or will be towed.</p><p>Additional overflow parking is available at the University of Lethbridge Centre for Sport & Wellness parking area in Lot E, or near the Parkway Service Complex, both located north of the Stadium off University Drive.
