Dec 15, 2025PermanentlyParking Lots 92, 94, 97

Due to the second phase of the Gateway District and demolition of the east side of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, lots 92, 94, and 97 will close permanently.

These yellow zone lots are largely used for overflow parking for nearby residence halls and student day parking.  For Spring semester, KU Transportation will convert more than 30 red zone spaces to yellow spaces in Lot 91, which sits just north of Spencer Museum of Art.  With that change, the lot will hold more than 100 yellow spaces.  KU Transportation will also establish a new lot north of 11th Street between Mississippi and Illinois Streets for overflow parking from GSP and Corbin Halls.

Yellow zone parking will continue to be available on the west side of the stadium in Lots 50, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 and 65.

Yellow zone permit holders are also encouraged to explore park and ride options in Lots 300 and 302 on the West District where circulator buses can deliver riders to Jayhawk Boulevard in 10 to 20 minutes.
