Michigan Stadium Oversized Vehicle Parking

South Main 526 is a convenient Ann Arbor parking option for Michigan Football fans who want a short walk to Michigan Stadium along with easy access to downtown bars, restaurants, and game day activity. Located across the street from Union Rec, this lot offers a strong combination of location, convenience, and flexibility for guests heading to the Big House.

What makes South Main 526 especially valuable is that it can accommodate certain oversized vehicles on a limited basis. That is a rare and important feature for Michigan Football games and Michigan Stadium concerts, where parking for Sprinter Vans, buses, and other non-conforming vehicles can be very difficult to find. If you need parking for an oversized vehicle, you must contact Park N Party in advance so your reservation can be reviewed and arranged properly.

Convenient Parking Near Michigan Stadium & Downtown Ann Arbor

South Main 526 is about 0.50 miles from Michigan Stadium, making it a practical choice for fans who want to park within walking distance of the Big House while also staying close to downtown Ann Arbor. Its location works well for guests who want to enjoy pregame tailgating, head into the stadium, and still have easy access to restaurants and nightlife before or after the game.

Because of its position near both the stadium area and downtown, South Main 526 appeals to a wide range of guests, including standard vehicle drivers, premium tailgate groups, and those looking for parking options that are harder to find elsewhere in Ann Arbor.

Oversized Vehicle Parking at South Main 526

One of the most unique benefits of South Main 526 is its ability to permit certain oversized vehicles on a limited basis. Cars, SUVs, and trucks under 19 feet long and 84 inches wide, including mirrors and running boards, are permitted in the standard parking program. In addition, Sprinter Van and bus parking may be available in limited supply.

Because oversized vehicle parking is limited and requires special coordination, guests with vans, buses, or other non-conforming vehicles must contact Park N Party directly to arrange reservations. Oversized vehicle reservations are for parking only. No tailgating is permitted with oversized vehicle parking, and no overnight stays are allowed.

Tailgating at South Main 526

South Main 526 is a good location for Michigan Football and concert pre-event activity, but guests should note that tents are not permitted behind vehicles in standard parking spaces. Guests who want to set up a tent must reserve Premium Tailgate space and should contact Park N Party for availability and details.

Groups of ten (10) or more must also reserve Premium Tailgate space. This helps keep the lot organized and ensures larger gatherings are set up in the appropriate areas.
