New postgame football traffic plan announced

PRINTABLE: View Maps of Football Egress Plan | Traffic Pamphlet
Vanderbilt Police Department in conjunction with Vanderbilt Athletics has created a new traffic plan for postgame traffic that goes into effect this season.
"Our primary objective is to enhance the game experience for our fans by assisting them smoothly and safely on their way home," says Lt. John Newman of VPD. "Our strategy is essentially to move traffic seamlessly onto main arteries surrounding campus."
All fans, especially veteran attendees, are encouraged to take the time to understand the new procedure as there are some significant changes.
Members of the National Commodore Club parking in Lots 1-2 along Vanderbilt Place will be directed to turn left and head west on Vanderbilt Place to Blakemore, where they can turn either direction. Cars will not be allowed to exit onto side streets along Vanderbilt Place. Drivers will be encouraged to turn left (west) on West End Avenue to provide quick access to I-440.
Cars exiting from Lot 3 across from the Vanderbilt track will still be able to leave on Natchez Trace and proceed either east or west on Blakemore.
For those exiting the busy 25th Avenue Garage onto 25th Avenue, the two left lanes will be directed to turn south toward Blakemore while the two right lanes will be channeled north toward West End. All northerly traffic on 25th Avenue will be one way. Cars will not be given the option to turn onto side streets until reaching West End and Blakemore.
Cars leaving the 25th Avenue Garage from the Highland Avenue side will make right hand turns and leave southbound via 24th Avenue.
Those parking in the Kensington Garage next to Memorial Gymnasium will be directed left on 25th to reach West End. All cars will be directed right (east) on West End Avenue.
Uniformed officers will also be stationed at three key points to help pedestrians. One officer will be located at the corner of Jess Neely and 25th Avenue South while fans needing to cross West End Avenue are advised to go to Natchez Trace and 28th Avenue South for assistance.

Tailgating News
Football game day parking has realized a change in the availability of a parking area previously used by some tailgate fans. This is a University matter that athletics personnel closely monitored for some time, during which new options were found.
Vanderbilt has been preparing to transition into a unique "Residential College" system for several years, investing many resources into this innovative system that will make the University greater in many ways. This system requires all students to live on campus, thus a need for more full-time parking space. V The grass area at the extreme southeast corner of the Natchez Trace parking lots will be dedicated to this worthy endeavor, although those involved with football game operations realize some parking places and a nice tailgate area will be lost. No one would suggest 245 parking places for six to eight football game days would trump students' daily needs.
Our game operations personnel have identified additional parking to compensate for this loss of space. Approximately 800 new game day parking spots have been secured at the Terrace Place parking deck, located just east of the Baker Building on 21st Avenue South.
This would entail a pleasant 10 minute walk though our beautiful campus.
We also have about 300 more spaces at the Wesley Place Garage, just across 21st Avenue South from the Vanderbilt Library. Parking at both the Terrace Place and Wesley Place Garages is $5. A campus map is available on www.vanderbilt.edu
Athletics staff members are investigating other potential tailgate areas and should any become available, that news will appear on vucommodores.com.
Parking for National Commodore Club members at or above the rank of Ensign ($500) is not affected. Also, the marketing staff reports that not all Vandyville tents have been taken; they can be rented for $600 a year, a location that puts you in the middle of the action.
Finally, most Nashvillians realize that Vanderbilt does not make parking decisions for its neighbors, such as nearby Centennial Park or the Harris-Hillman School.
Parking at most major college football sites is a major challenge and it is no different at Vanderbilt. Our marketing and game operations personnel are always looking for ways to make the game experience a good one for all fans. We hope you will have a great time on our campus this fall.
