Boston College 2012 Football Season: Parking Restrictions Start Saturday

The football season kicks off this Saturday, ushering in a new year and a fresh start for the Eagles and their devoted fan base. 

It also marks the start of game day parking restrictions in the Chestnut Hill neighborhoods around BC and Alumni Stadium.

All vehicles, including those with university-issued permits, must be removed from the Chestnut Hill campus by 11 p.m. the night before a home football game. Students with resident permitted vehicles (SRF permits only) may park at the Newton Centre campus for home games.
