Machine runs an efficient and amazing meet. So much fun! Standing ovation for Machine from an NCAP parent.

Just want to give the HUGEST, LOUDEST SHOUT OUT to Machine, UMd, and all volunteers/officials for a tremendous first two days of Turkey Claus. This is, bar none, the best meet we’ve attended.

I don’t think it is this year.

Yes, 2024 PV Turkey Claus showdown

In the past, even if passes were sold out, I just parked at SDG and paid using the app on an hourly basis.

you can also park at lot 1, though a bit of a walk. Worse comes to worse, park (free) at the Marriott and walk over - just bundle up.

+1, I did this today and the Stadium Garage was all that was left.

You can try other garages like Stadium Garage, but likely are full, too. Weekdays are difficult, in general, and even more so when there's events on campus like Turkey Claus. Also, we were told that there's construction going on that has reduced parking availability. https://maps.umd.edu/map/ Good luck!

If the link showed parking was sold out for Friday, that would most likely include the Stadium Garage since that and Terrapin Trail (already sold out when I purchased yesterday morning, so I'm parking in Stadium) are the locations listed in the information sent by our club.

based on past experience, you should be fine. finals could get tricky if there's a basketball game.

Super helpful - thank you! I don't anticipate we'll be staying for the finals (DD only just turned 11), but good to know just in case.

If you have an older swimmer and are there early for warm-ups you have a good chance of getting a meter spot.
