Football Parking in the South Gate

🏈 Attention, Zee-Bee Fans!

Planning to attend a home football game this year? Due to limited parking on the north side of the building, all Zion fans are asked to park on the south side and enter through the south gate located behind the pool/theater.

Thank you for helping us keep game-day traffic moving smoothly. We’ll see you under the Friday night lights! 🐝🏈
