Academic Year 2025-2026 updates:

Game day: Move vehicles to avoid a tow and fine

The UNT Mean Green football team takes the field on Aug. 30 against the Lamar Cardinals at DATCU stadium. Just like all of the home games every year, the lots surrounding the stadium will need to be vacated for the event.

Specifically, Lots 20 (but not residents), 80, 81, and 85, which are the Remote lots and Resident Reserved Lot 81 next to Victory Hall. This means that these permit holders will need to move their vehicles to the Eagle lots on the East side of campus – not Lot 20. Permit holders are able to move their vehicles on Friday to Eagle lots on the east side of campus starting at 3 p.m. on Aug. 29. Permit holders who remain in the lots they are required to vacate will have their vehicles towed to Lot 40 and will have a $125 citation added to their account.

If you would like to take a bus back from the east side of campus to Victory Hall, you can take the Parking Express A (PE-A on the DCTA website, runs every 25 minutes) or the Eagle Point 131 (EP 131, runs every 20 minutes). Both lines will pick up from the stops next to the Highland Street Garage along Central Avenue. After 9 p.m., you can also use the Night Flight service by requesting a ride on the TripShot app, but the DATCU stadium area will not be available until an hour after the game ends.

Resident Lot 20 permit holders do not need to move their vehicles. However, if they do move their vehicles on Saturday, Aug. 30, they may be required to pay a reentry fee to get back into their Resident lot.

Dates of all of the home games that will require vehicles to be moved:

• August 30 (Sat): vs. Lamar.
• September 13 (Sat): vs. Washington State.
• September 27 (Sat): vs. South Alabama.
• October 10 (Fri): vs. South Florida.
• October 18 (Sat): vs. UTSA (Homecoming).
• November 1 (Sat): vs. Navy.
• November 29 (Sat): vs. Temple (Senior Day).

Ensure your vehicle is in the correct area of Lot 20

Resident permit holders —

Resident permit holders must park in the northern section of lot 20. Any other part of lot 20 needs to be available for commuters.  

We know that this coming to campus is a huge life change, and we want to help you get through it as painlessly as possible. For lot 20 to be utilized by the campus in the most efficient way possible, please ensure that your vehicle is parked on the north side of lot 20.

For any further questions or concerns that you may have, please feel free to call us at 940-565-3020, email us transportation.services@unt.edu, send us a message on X, Facebook and Instagram (find us @UNTTransit), or come and see us in our office at Highland Street Garage. 

Welcome to UNT, we are glad you’re here!

Highland Street Closure Begins August 18

Regular traffic access to Highland Street between Avenue A and Avenue C will be closed to allow pedestrians to move safely through this part of campus beginning August 18.

This closure is expected to remain in place through the end of the semester, coinciding with the completion of Union Circle construction.

The closure will primarily impact general traffic, but some vehicles will still be allowed through. Delivery vehicles, emergency responders, and work vehicles will continue to have access to Highland Street—so pedestrians should remain alert when crossing.

Access to some campus lots will change during the closure.

• Lot 24 will only be accessible via Maple Street.
• Lot 25 will only be accessible via Avenue C.

However, access to Crumley Hall, the BLB, Eagle’s Landing, the Highland Street Garage, Lot 36, and Lot 37 will not be affected. The intersections at Avenue A and Avenue C will also remain open. Drivers will still be able to turn right off Avenue A onto Highland, and traffic can continue north on Avenue C along the west side of the Music Building.

If you normally travel along Highland Street to reach these areas, you’ll need to take Eagle Drive or another route instead.

Bicycles and golf carts will still be allowed on Highland Street during the closure.
