Directions to UMCP's Ritchie Coliseum

If traveling South on Route 1 towards UMCP, go past the main entrance to the campus (which is Campus Drive) and then turn left at the very next light onto Rossborough Lane. After you turn left onto Rossborough Lane, Ritchie Coliseum will be the building immediately on your right. The main entrance to the "lobby" of Ritchie Coliseum is on the side facing Route 1.

On the weekends there should be plenty of free parking in lots K1, K2 and lots C1 and C2 (note that spots with a METER may not be free). Lots K1 and K2 are near Ritchie Coliseum and if they happen to be full you can go back across Route 1 to the other side and park in lots C1 or C2 and walk back across the street to Ritchie Coliseum. For further information about parking you can visit the following webpage(s):
