What is the Priority Seating Payment?

Priority seating payments help fund our scholarship bill which exceeds $8.5 million annually and supports over 450+ student athletes each year. This helps provide Bearcats student athletes the best experience possible so they can achieve both academic and athletic excellence.

Due to new tax laws beginning with the 2018 season, these payments are no longer tax deductible and can be viewed as a “seat license”.

What are my parking options?

Football season parking passes are offered in Campus Green, University, Corry, Calhoun and CCM parking garages. The parking selection process takes place in late Spring and is based on UCATS Priority Rank.

Game Day Parking is offered in Campus Green, Woodside, Eden and Stratford Heights.

ADA Parking is available in CCM Garage on a season basis only (subject to availability). Campus Green Garage is available for ADA Parking on game day (subject to availability) with golf cart shuttles. A state-issued handicapped pass is required.
