Parking
Full FSU Parking Map
Since our convention will be taking place after school hours, parking should be free anywhere on campus. However, non-FSU Students who choose to attend the convention before 4pm on Friday must obtain a parking permit prior to parking. For assistance, please contact fsu.freecon@gmail.com.
Parking spaces can be found throughout campus. There are two parking spaces closest to the convention site. The "Overnight" Woodward Garage, above the FSU Bookstore on Woodward Ave, is the closest to the Oglesby Union, where all of the main events will be held. To park in this Garage, you must approach from Tennessee St. You can also park at the "Overnight" Traditions Garage on Traditions Way, as well as the parking lot across from it. It is located by the Denny's All-Nighter, Student Services Building, and Student Life Cinema. Although it is further away, additional parking can be found at the Doak Cambell Stadium.
