Parking and traffic patterns will shift around Memorial Stadium as the University of Nebraska–Lincoln prepares to host an April 25 Zach Bryan concert.
Due to event production activities and stadium construction, temporary parking and traffic adjustments will be in place from April 20 to May 9. While some parking areas near the stadium will be unavailable during this period, alternate parking options and clear access routes have been identified to help campus members continue routines with minimal inconvenience.
What to expect
Parking availability will be reduced in select areas around Memorial Stadium, and traffic patterns will change during event setup and teardown for the concert. Parking and Transit Services encourages everyone who parks or travels near the stadium to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and follow posted signage.
Key dates to keep in mind:

Some parking impacts will extend beyond the concert date to accommodate nearby construction.
