UMass Sees High Demand for Family Weekend Parking

AMHERST, Mass. – Massachusetts Athletics is preparing for a busy Family Weekend on Saturday, Oct. 18, with large crowds expected. Traditional parking areas at the university are already sold out due to high demand.

On Saturday, UMass will host three major sporting events: men’s soccer at noon, football at 2:30 p.m., and hockey at 7:30 p.m. Fans are encouraged to plan their travel in advance as parking will be limited.

The athletics department has provided parking updates for attendees. Confirmed on-site parking options may still be available, but fans should check the UMass website for the latest information.

This Family Weekend is anticipated to attract especially large crowds, as many families will be attending to support their student-athletes across all sports. The excitement in the air and the liveliness of the campus are likely to enhance the overall experience for everyone.

In addition to the games, there will be various activities and gatherings for families throughout the day, further contributing to the vibrant atmosphere on campus.
