The Oregon State University football team hosts Stanford at 6 p.m. on Thursday at Reser Stadium, with the overlap between the game and daily university operations forcing changes in parking rules and access.

Many parking lots will be closing to those without game-day parking permits at 1 p.m., with others restricting entry to football customers at 3 p.m. (See the information box for a link to a map).

“The influx of football fans and game-day parking restrictions necessitates advanced planning and consideration of alternative transportation,” said Steve Clark, OSU’s vice president of university relations and marketing.

“In the years that OSU has hosted a weeknight football game, we have taken many measures to minimize disruption and inconvenience that may result. The safety of everyone involved is our number one priority, and we ask for flexibility and patience.”

Other tips from OSU officials for Thursday’s game:

• Taxis and ride-sharing options such as Uber and Lyft also are available. Lyft has entered into an official partnership with OSU athletics that includes a marked drop-off and pick-up zone on Southwest 26th Street between Washington and Jefferson for the remaining football games plus baseball and basketball contests.
