Shuttle Options
Three shuttle routes will be operated in collaboration with the City of Waco:
- Downtown Heritage Square – open to all fans
- Ferrell Center – Baylor students and game day operational staff
- McLane Stadium Lot 3 – Bear Foundation members with McLane parking for MBB games
All shuttles will start at least two hours prior to tip-off and run until at least one hour post-game. Busses will "leap-frog" one another, meaning when one arrives at the pick-up location the lead shuttle in the queue will depart. Exceptions will be made when a shuttle is full prior to another shuttle arriving, in which case it will depart immediately. This is designed for a shuttle to be present at the pick-up location as often as possible.
The start of each shuttle route will feature an identifiable pick-up and drop-off location. The drop-off and pick-up location at the Foster Pavilion will be off University Parks Drive between the Clifton Robinson Tower and Clay Ave.
Ride-Share Drop-Off
For those utilizing a ride-share service, the designated drop-off location is on Second Street between Jackson and Clay Avenues.
Foot Traffic from Campus
Fans walking from campus are encouraged to utilize University Parks Drive, where there will be a police presence.
Fans can stay tuned to BaylorBears.com/FosterForward for up-to-date information leading up to the opening of The Foster on Jan. 2 and Jan. 3.
