FRIDAY AND SATURDAY PARKING
Wondering where to park?
You're in the right place!
You'll have a weekend full of activities, as we celebrate Kansas Alpha's 150th Anniversary. Here's what you'll need to know, if you're planning to take your own car. You can also email the planning committee with questions. Please note that optional shuttle transportation will be offered throughout the entire weekend between Pi Phi hotels and the 150th Anniversary events.
FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 2023
Oread Hotel
Event Registration from 2:30 - 9:00 p.m.
Decade Receptions from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m.

Saturday Morning
Breakfast with the Presidents at the Eldridge Hotel
9:30 a.m.
There is plenty of metered street parking near the hotel, which is free on weekends. You are also invited to park in the free 2-hour parking lot, just south of the hotel.
Pi Phi Yoga at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center
9:30 a.m.
This is a beautiful new arena located adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse. Enter Allen Fieldhouse Drive to the south of Allen Fieldhouse, and park in Lots 71, 125 or 127. These are the parking lots bordering Hoglund Ballpark. You may also park on the east side of Naismith Drive in the large parking lot that faces Allen Fieldhouse (Lot 90). Parking permits are not required for weekend parking in these lots. Enter Horejsi using the door that is on the southeast corner of the building; it takes you directly to the court where we'll have yoga.
Campus Tour
Begins and ends at the Mississippi Parking Garage next to the Student Union, across from Alumni Center
9:30 a.m.
Park for free in the Mississippi Parking Garage, where you can enter either from Mississippi (facing the football stadium) or from Oread Avenue (across from the Alumni Center). Ideally you'll park on the top floor of the garage, as your tour bus will meet you on Oread Avenue, directly in front of the parking garage.
Tour of Allen Fieldhouse
9:30 a.m.
Park for free in the Allen Fieldhouse Parking Garage. While this is a walking tour, there are elevators available for those who have difficulty navigating stairs.
All Day
Pi Phi Open House
Come and go between 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Parking at the house will be restricted to those with mobility limitations. You may also drop off in front of the house or in the back lot (for those with wheelchairs, walkers, etc. who require a ramp or fewer stairs). For those who are physically able to walk, you will find spaces at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center (walk down the sidewalk to Pi Phi), as well as Lot 54 next to the KU School of Law. Parking permits are not required on weekends in this lot. Both are one block from the Pi Phi chapter house.
Saturday Evening
Kansas Alpha Sesquicentennial Celebration
6:00 - 10:00 p.m.
Bus transportation will be provided between all of the Pi Phi hotels and the Burge Union for Saturday night's event. If you prefer to drive your own vehicle, though, we invite you to park in Central District Parking Garage #1. The second level of the garage opens up to a sidewalk that leads directly to the Burge Union (to your right). Parking permits are not required, and parking is free on weekends.
