Campus Visitors Urged to Plan Ahead
for Dad’s Weekend Events

Pullman, Washington– People coming to campus for Dad’s Weekend (Nov. 9 -12) are encouraged to plan ahead to avoid possible traffic and parking problems. Events on Friday and Saturday will bring many people to campus.

On Friday night at 6:30, the Cougar Men’s basketball team takes on Eastern Washington University at Beasley Coliseum. Later that evening at 8:30, the WSU Women’s Volleyball team takes on Stanford University in Bohler Gym.

On Saturday, events include football versus Stanford at 3:30 p.m. in Martin Stadium. The Doobie Brothers concert follows at 8:30 p.m. at Beasley Coliseum.

“Having these major events on campus is exciting, and we want to get the word out to people to be ready for the parking and traffic challenges,” said Bridgette Johnson, field operations manager for parking and transportation.

Season basketball ticket holders will notice that their usual parking areas will not be available on Friday night due to RV parking for the football game.
