Traffic will be heavy, and parking will be limited. Please plan your commute accordingly. You are encouraged to take public transportation. If you need a parking pass due to special circumstances, please contact tcommenc@uw.edu

When you arrive at the Tacoma Dome, please enter through the 24-hour security entrance off of parking lot H and check-in (parking map with dome entrances).

Once you are checked-in, head straight to the Faculty & Staff Locker room to drop off or change into your regalia. There will be signs directing you to where the locker room is.  

Wear something comfortable as you will most likely be moving, walking, and running around! However, do keep in mind you are representing UW Tacoma.  Also, please remember that it is warm inside the Dome, but may be chilly outside. We also encourage that you wear your name tag. We will also be providing purple vests for you to wear as this helps students and guests identify our staff members.

Approximate duration is 2 hours and 30 minutes
