TUCSON -- ESPN College GameDay will be on The University of Arizona campus for a live broadcast from 7 a.m. -10 a.m. The ESPN College GameDay set will be on the UA Mall west of the Cactus Garden and east of Old Main. 

The backdrop for the production will be Old Main with a pedestrian only zone from Cherry Avenue to Park Avenue. Fans are encouraged to access the UA Mall from the west side of Old Main.

Parking will be free of charge in the Main Gate Garage and Park Avenue Garage.

UA Tailgating grounds east of Cherry Avenue will open for parking only at 6 a.m. Those with a valid UA tailgating pass will receive a temporary pass that allows them to park on the tailgating grounds prior to the typical five-hour limit.
