Rutgers Athletics Announces Parking Enhancements for Winter Sports
Oct 23 | General, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Wrestling
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers Athletics has announced RAC parking enhancements for its 2019-20 winter sports schedule. This season, all parking passes for men's basketball and wrestling events will be digitally scanned, allowing season ticket holders to utilize their online accounts to electronically transfer parking to friends and family.
General event-day parking for all men's basketball and wrestling events in 2019-20 will remain $10.
Mobile parking passes for men's basketball and wrestling will be available for purchase up to 24 hours in advance of each home date. Once purchased, individuals will receive an email with a link to download their pass to their mobile device. The user will be instructed to present the mobile pass to the attendant upon arrival. Fans can purchase single game/match parking by visiting ScarletKnights.com.
For the first time, fans will also be able to use credit cards to purchase day-of-event parking passes for men's basketball and wrestling outside the Yellow Lot. Fans attending home events this season will not be able to park in the new parking deck of the RWJBarnabas Health Athletic Performance Center, with day-of-event parking only available in the Yellow Lot of the RAC. Day-of-event parking for women's basketball at the RAC will continue to be free of charge.
In the case of men's basketball and wrestling events that are expected to be at near capacity or sold-out, Rutgers Athletics will implement an alternate traffic pattern for fans attending the event at the RAC. Fans are encouraged to arrive early, as increased traffic volume may delay ingress and egress.
Season tickets for all three teams can still be purchased either online or by calling 866-445-GORU (4678). Flex plans are also on sale, allowing fans to choose any four games during the 2019-20 season. Additional information can also be found via RutgersGameday.com.
Fourth-year head coach Steve Pikiell and Rutgers men's basketball were named the Most Improved Team of the 2018-19 season by Sports Illustrated in its year-end wards. The Scarlet Knights improved 70 positions in the KenPom.com rankings since the season's initial rating, best among all power conference programs.
Stemming from the progress, Rutgers experienced five sell-outs at the RAC, its most since 2004-05 (7). Average attendance improved 31.1% from 2017-18. RU ranked 65th nationally in percent of capacity (78%) out of 353 D-I programs after placing 232nd in 2017-18 (59.49%).
Women's basketball returns eight Scarlet Knights from last year's squad that captured its most successful Big Ten season to date and danced its way to an at-large NCAA Tournament Bid. The Scarlet Knights played to a 22-10 overall mark and a third-place regular season finish in the Big Ten with a 13-5 conference mark. RU reached the Big Ten semifinals for the first time since joining the league in 2014 and ranked as high as No. 14 in the Associated Press and No. 18 in the ESPN/USA Today Polls.
C. Vivian Stringer embarks on her 49th season in coaching and is coming off a season in which she became the sixth coach in NCAA women's basketball history to surpass the 1,000-career victory milestone. Entering her 25th season "On The Banks", Stringer is one victory shy of capturing her 500th win at the helm of the Scarlet Knight program.
Under the guidance of reigning Dan Gable and NCAA Tournament Coach of the Year Scott Goodale, Rutgers wrestling is coming off an historic 2018-19 campaign which was capped by the program's first individual NCAA titles from Anthony Ashnault and Nick Suriano, as well as its first Top 10 finish at the national tournament.
RU returns four national qualifiers this season, including Matthew Correnti, Joseph Grello, Peter Lipari, Jordan Pagano. The Scarlet Knights also feature an incoming 2019 freshman class ranked No. 4 in the country by FloWrestling.

- Hospital Road will be closed at Suttons Lane, with signage directing visitors to Rockafeller Road, where Country Club Parking will be assigned.
- After the event, Hospital Road will be split, as exiting traffic will be sent toward Ave. E and Suttons Lane. Traffic exiting from the Yellow Lot to Rockafeller Road will be permitted to go left or right.
