There is a convenient parking garage immediately across from Keller Hall called the Washington Avenue Parking Ramp. If you have a larger vehicle that cannot park in this ramp, there are other parking options very close to Keller Hall. There is no free parking anywhere on campus. All we need to reimburse you is your parking receipt from the day of the competition if you are not from the University of Minnesota.
