Changes to parking await LLHS football fans

LOS LUNAS — Fans attending sporting events at Los Lunas High School football stadium this season can expect changes to parking around the stadium because of ongoing construction.

Los Lunas Schools has announced the following changes:

•Handicap parking will be available in front of the stadium as usual but will only be accessible from Tiger Lane via Los Cerritos.

•Parking for other drivers will be available at the softball parking area via Tiger Lane.

•Additional parking from south Emilio Lopez Road via the front entrance access to Los Lunas High School. Parking lots by the auditorium and south of the school will be available.

•Drivers may also access parking from north Emilio Lopez Road via the gated entrance to the parking lot near the practice field (northwest of the stadium).

•There will be no access to the football practice field parking lot from Tiger Lane.

According to LLS, the map and parking access points will change frequently due to construction. The public will be notified when changes are made.

LLS encourages fans to arrive early and carpool. Fans will be directed to available parking. Golf carts will be available for people who may need help getting from the parking lots to the front entrance of the stadium, where they will enter as usual. Construction crews have been working on a new entrance to the facility and building a concession stand/bathroom inside the stadium on the northwest end.

Los Lunas Schools has also launched a clear bag policy at all district athletic events, both indoor and outdoor venues, to enhance public safety. Details can be found at www.llschools.net/athletics/lls-clear-bag-policy.
