The Alumni Relations Team has set-up special MU Alumni Hotel discounts for the weekend. Click here for more information about the discounted rates and how to reserve your room at the Holiday Inn Express- Wilkes-Barre East or the Woodlands in Wilkes-Barre. Keep in mind that there will be many people in town during Homecoming weekend, so book your hotel and make reservations early. MU cannot guarantee rooms at any area hotels.

There are numerous hotels near campus and the surrounding area. Additional information and alumni hotel discounts are available on the Travel page.

Parking spots in the North Gate Parking Lot are for Tailgating only on Saturday, October 2nd. Tailgating spots are $20 per standard space, and attendees must pre-register. No same-day reservations can be accepted. Tailgating spots can be reserved here.

*Due to the high volume of attendees expected on Saturday, October 2nd, parking spots cannot be saved in the North Gate Parking Lot for other vehicles in a party arriving at a later time. In order to park together, you must arrive to the tailgating area with all vehicles in your party. The lower campus parking lot near Passan Hall can be used as a gathering spot for groups waiting to come together.

Free parking is available on campus in alternate lots.
