Before the Luke Combs concert at Beaver Stadium on Saturday, April 27, Penn State Parking released updated parking, traffic, and transit information.
The university advised drivers to exercise caution and factor in extra time for their excursions, as heavy traffic is anticipated over the weekend. The following are the alterations to the campus and nearby roadways.
Traffic Changes for Student Parking Availability
The permits for student parking will be valid at any lots west of Bigler Road that normally enable student parking on weekends. On the parking map, those sections are designated as “E/W.”
In order to make more room for guests on Saturday, it is advised that faculty, staff, and students park on the ground rather than in parking decks.
Limitations on Traffic
Curtin Road will remain closed between University Drive and Porter Road until the end of the event, as it has done all week. Beginning at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Porter Road between Curtin Road and Park Avenue will also be blocked.
Transportation Services
A Penn State parking press statement states that CATA services will continue run over the weekend, but they will do so with these modifications.

The Blue Loop will turn right on Bigler Road, then right on Pollock Road from the Pattee Library bus stop. It will then continue on its regular route until it reaches College Avenue and Allen Street, when it will turn right on Burrowes Road.
