For teams with busses the entrance by Snyder Hall should be utilized. From there, travel down the service road (Abbey Road) that is directly next to S.R. 52. Then stop in front of the technology services building to drop off team and gear. From that point, teams will walk across 52. The bus should proceed through the roundabout to park near the baseball & softball fields.
