Cintas Center Basketball Parking Map
All For One Fund members at the Starter ($250) Level and who own at least one (1) men’s basketball season ticket are guaranteed a full season parking pass in a designated lot based on their total giving level. One parking pass is given for every four (4) season tickets owned. So, an account holder with one season ticket receives one reserved parking pass. An account holder with four season tickets receives one parking pass. An account holder with five (5) season tickets would receive a second parking pass.
PASS PROTECTED LOTS
Pass holder parking lots open two hours prior to tip-off. One parking pass will be given for every four seats per account. A Cintas Center Parking Pass is required to park in the following lots:
- Athletics & Media (A&M)

In an effort to provide a more efficient process, each season ticket holder will receive a parking hangtag. Parking lots are now divided into four color-coded zones: Navy Blue, Green, Yellow, and Powder Blue. Your hangtag will display the color of your assigned lot, assisting our attendants in directing traffic smoothly upon arrival. Please see the parking map below for reference.

- The hangtag does not replace your parking pass. You'll still need to present your digital parking pass for scanning upon entry.
- Hangtags may not be duplicated.
- Each vehicle must have its own digital parking pass.
- If you transfer your digital parking pass to another guest, they may park without a hangtag but will be required to show the digital pass at various checkpoints.
Please know that gameday traffic routes for ingress may have changed, so would encourage guests to review the recommended entry process by lot below and allow for extra time.
