- Parking spaces will not be allowed to be reserved; vehicles will be parked as they

that obstructs the free flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The Athletic Director
is authorized to reserve portions of parking lots at home football games for special
events and groups.
- A vehicle must occupy a parking space; grills, tables, furniture and other items are
permitted as long as they are of size to occupy the same space.
- Oversized vehicles that require more then one space will be charged accordingly.
- Only tents authorized by the Athletic Director will be allowed.
- Any deviation from this policy must be approved by the Vice President for Administration
and Finance.
- REMINDER: It is risky to serve alcoholic beverages to anyone other than yourself and
your immediate party. Michigan law requires a license before a person can sell, trade
or give away alcoholic beverages. A violation of this law is a felony. A social host
does not need a license to serve his/her invited guests who fall within the usual
understanding of friends and personal visitors. A social host may be legally and civilly
liable to guests and others for injuries resulting from serving alcohol, especially
to a minor.
