Willamette University officials are expecting a large crowd for Saturday's Linfield-Willamette football game.  Willamette reminds fans that McCulloch Stadium resides within a city park and that all of the land surrounding the stadium - parking and green spaces - are governed by the City of Salem.  A few reminders for those planning to attend the game in person:

Alcohol
Alcohol is not allowed in the parking lot or in any public park space unless prior arrangements have been made with the City of Salem. Private security will be on site and the City of Salem Police Department will be on patrol throughout the day to monitor all parking lots.

Parking
Parking will be at a premium.  There are several lots surrounding the stadium, the largest being the North lot, just off Mission Street.  There is another larger lot at the South end of Bush's Pasture Park, off LeFelle Street.  Street parking is also available surrounding Bush's Pasture Park.  Illegal parking will not be permitted and vehicles could be towed if creating a major problem.  There is plenty of parking in the Sparks Center parking lot on our main campus. That lot is on the corner of Bellevue and 12th Street.

Tickets and Seating
Willamette anticipates having plenty of tickets and seating for the contest.  An additional 600 bleachers seats have been installed behind the visiting team bench and continue. The South section of the covered grandstand is also designated for fans of the visiting team.  The remaining three sections of the main grandstand are reserved for holders of Willamette Season Tickets (chairs with backs), Willamette Students and Football Families (plastic seats), and Willamette's general admission section.  Those areas are clearly marked. Ushers are available to assist with any questions.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
