TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Cincinnati Men's Basketball vs. Mississippi State

CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics is anticipating a capacity crowd for tonight's men's basketball game against Mississippi State inside BB&T Arena at 7 p.m. ET. The following traffic and parking advisory has been issued for Tuesday's game.

TRAFFIC & PARKING ADVISORY - PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY
Fans looking to avoid heavier traffic should plan to arrive at least 45-60 minutes before game time (tip-off is 7 PM). Doors to BB&T Arena open 90 minutes prior to tip-off (5:30 PM).
  Tips & Tricks for traffic flow & parking: 

• Arrive 45-60 minutes prior to game time.
• Patrons with a Lot O parking pass should enter Martha Layne Collins Drive and access BB&T Arena from the back-side of campus. (See Entrance 2 on the map below). Please note, all Lot O passes will now be stubbed upon entry into lot.
• Fans traveling from Downtown, Northern Kentucky or the West Side of Cincinnati, we recommend taking 275 East to Exit 76 (Three Mile Road/Northern Kentucky University). Turn right off of the exit on University Drive and you will be directed onto campus from here. (See Entrance 3 on the map below)
• NKU is still in session tonight as students have exams this week, so please be mindful of this campus activity, which may warrant a change in traffic patterns. Police Officers are working to help us and they are committed to getting fans to the closest available parking location.
• The traffic lights at US 27 & Sunset will be managed by Police in an attempt to have more vehicles access 275 during each traffic light rotation. 
• Beginning at the time doors open (90 minutes prior) BB&T Arena will be offering discounted alcoholic beverages, excluding the Braxton Beer Garden and the Vault.

On a separate note, you will be excited to know that our Bearcats floor will be down for the game tonight.
