Game Days at Eastern

Eastern University Athletics is pleased to welcome fans to our beautiful campus. 

Please take note of the following to best enjoy your Game Day experience.

Parking:
Parking for Athletic events is in either McInnis or Sparrowk Hall lots. Enter campus through the main entrance off Eagle Road. The Sparrowk Lot is accessible by turning right immediately after you enter. That lot is the closest available parking for the Gym, Field Hockey field, Tennis Courts, Olson Field (Soccer/ Lacrosse) and The Yard (Baseball). McInnis Lots are the best option for softball and a second option for the other venues.

Fans looking to drop off handicapped or elderly fans for soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, tennis, or indoor sports can do so at the gym lot located at the corner of  Fairview Drive and Fenimore Drive. Drivers should use 10 Fairview Drive as the address for the lot and tell the lot attendant they are dropping someone off.

Fans arriving in a vehicle without a driver capable of making the walk from the Sparrowk lot can reach out to Brian Bingaman at bbingama@eastern.edu to make arrangements for a handicapped spot or transport from the Sparrowk lot. To all the most time make arrangements, these requests should be made as early as possible. The Softball Field is adjacent to the McInnis parking lot.

Seating:
Olson Field, the Field Hockey Field, Baseball Field, and Tennis Courts have very limited bleacher seating and many fans elect to bring chairs or blankets to sit on the hills around the facilities.

Admission:
Eastern does not charge admission for regular-season outdoor events on campus. Admission is charged for indoor events and MAC and NCAA Championship events on campus. For those events, ticket prices will be posted in advance. Tickets for regular-season basketball and volleyball matches are $6 for adults, $4 for seniors, and $2 for students. Eastern students, faculty, and staff are admitted free with current Ecard.

Tailgating:
Eastern is a dry campus. The University does not provide indoor space for pre or post-game meals for visiting teams and their fans, but there is available outdoor space adjacent to athletic facilities or by bus parking. Teams fishing to do post-game meals should coordinate with Brian Bingaman or their game manager for location and waste management.
