When Parking Is Hardest Around UNM South Campus
Parking pressure is greatest during university term-time weekdays, when students and staff arrive for classes and work at overlapping times. The campus is also close to athletic facilities, so games and other university events can bring additional demand around Avenida Cesar Chavez SE.
Drivers heading to a game, open day, or other scheduled campus event should allow extra time for a space and for walking from a nearby lot. The Lobos directions identify Avenida Cesar Chavez as the I-25 exit route to the university area (golobos.com), making that approach particularly relevant when event traffic builds.
