Gameday Parking and Traffic Plan

Traffic Revision: Stadium Way Restriction

WSU officials will establish a temporary “restricted traffic zone” on a section of Stadium Way from Grimes Way north to Orchard Dr./Colorado St. during home football games two hours pre-game until two hours post-game. Vehicular access to this section of Stadium Way will be restricted to emergency vehicles, transit vehicles, stadium support vehicles and vehicles displaying disability permits for the purposes of dropping off persons with disabilities. 

The restricted traffic zone is being established for the following reasons:

Improve pedestrian safety and access for large volumes of game patrons crossing Stadium Way to and from Martin Stadium. Consolidate the flow of exit traffic from campus side streets and parking areas into more manageable and predictable patterns. Increase the availability and visibility of transit as an option for getting to and from the game. Create an opportunity to improve perimeter control and security of Martin Stadium.

For the most enjoyable experience, plan to arrive early and take advantage of the activities planned for each home game.

You CAN avoid the traffic altogether; check out the FREE Game Day Transit.
