Parking situation for Harvard-Yale game requires planning ahead

Posted by Matt Pepin, Boston.com Staff November 15, 2009 12:20 PM

Yale University has installed a new system for parking at Yale Bowl for Saturday's Harvard-Yale football game that aims to alleviate some of the massive traffic tieups that have plagued the event in the past, according to a report in today's New Haven Register.

However, it also requires planning ahead. There will be no general admission parking. People intending to park near the Yale Bowl must have prepaid parking vouchers ($15) and also hold at least two tickets to the game.

All others will be directed to downtown garages, where free shuttles will take fans to the stadium. According to the Register, Yale has more than doubled the free shuttle buses from campus, and the city has arranged for $3 all-day parking at the Temple and Crown street garages, which will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The game begins at noon.
