Students starting Youngstown State University next week may face some challenges when it comes to parking their cars on the second day of classes.
Students starting Youngstown State University next week may face some challenges when it comes to parking their cars on the second day of classes.
The fall term of YSU begins Wednesday.
The following day, the Zac Brown Band is scheduled to perform at Stambaugh Stadium in a concert that promoters expect will draw record crowds.
The University says it has sent out a notification that most of the parking spaces on the west side of campus will be reserved for concert-goers that day, and everyone else is being asked to park on the east side of campus.
The statement from the University says they are confident that there will be plenty of spaces to accommodate everyone on the east side of campus.
Signs and staff from parking services will be directing motorists to the open lots.
In addition, a shuttle loop is planned from Walnut Street, the back entrance of the Wick Avenue deck, to Lincoln Avenue, for students and others.
Concert organizers say that the stadium holds more than four times as many people as the Covelli Centre and they expect attendance to exceed the record set in 1960 for President John F. Kennedy.
