Premium, Select paid parking available for basketball games, but UTA permit holders can park for free

Starting in the 2016-17 season, all men's home basketball games and men's/women's double-header home games will offer paid parking in the College Park garages beginning an hour and half before tip-off.

Premium parking in College Park South is $10; $8 prepaid online. Select parking is $5 (no prepaid available) in College Park Central and North garages. Maverick Club members may purchase a discounted Premium pass by contacting Danielle Sanders at danielle.sanders@uta.edu or 817-272-0694 or Kris Wood at kriswood@uta.edu or 817-272-9613.

Current UTA permit holders can park in Select or Premium lots including College Park North, Central, South, or other surface lots without paying to park. License plate recognition will be used to ensure an active permit is attached to the vehicle prior to entering garage.

Free game parking is available in lots 49 and 52 south of Mitchell Street.

The Maverick men play St. Francis at 7 p.m. today, Monday, Nov. 21, at College Park Center. Read more sports news at utamavs.com.

Maverick Memories

Liz Carpenter was greeted by Jenkins Garrett as the guest speaker at the first Friends of the UTA Libraries meeting on Oct. 30, 1987. Lady Bird Johnson’s former press secretary was a popular journalist and had a new book to promote (Getting Better All the Time). More than 200 people attended the program and the reception. Ninety copies of Carpenter's book were sold, and the Friends group received good press coverage. The Friends of the UTA Libraries is a membership organization committed to enhancing the resources of the UTA Libraries for the benefit of students, faculty, and the community.
