SPACE RENTAL POLICIES & GUIDELINES

  • We offer convenient parking adjacent to the stadium and tower with ample space for your guests. We can reserve a number of stalls for you, or place a moratorium on the lot, both for a fee based on use. Talk to an event specialist for parking arrangements and note that on business days, the lot is used for university parking and is patrolled until 4 p.m. unless arrangements have been made for your event.

    No vehicles are permitted to park on sidewalk. Deliveries or pick-ups must park in the parking lot or in one of the open truck bays. All deliveries must be made during regular business hours Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.

    We do not accept responsibility for receiving deliveries or removing property owned or rented by the patron. The patron or a representative of the patron must be responsible for the all deliveries and pick-ups in conjunction with the event.

  • The patron must remove all equipment or decorations brought into the facility for the event. This includes all linens, dishes, flowers, plants, balloons and other disposable decorations. The patron will be assessed an additional cleaning fee if decorations are not removed or disposed of properly.

    Helium balloons are allowed on the Varsity Level 6 only. The Scholarship Level 4 is prohibited because of the 25-foot ceiling. If a lift is required to retrieve errant balloons on the 4th Level the patron will be charged for lift rental and labor hours. Confetti and/or glitter are allowed but the patron will be charged an additional $100.00 cleaning fee for the removal of confetti and/or glitter.
