The Student Center parking lot and the employee lot next to Memorial Coliseum will be closed Saturday from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. for staging of the 2009 Homecoming parade.

The parade will begin at 9 a.m. and last until about 10:30 a.m. The parade’s route spans from Memorial Coliseum to Cooper Drive and will cause closures to sections of Lexington Avenue, Avenue of Champions, Rose Street, Huguelet Drive, University Drive and Cooper Drive.  If it rains, the floats can be viewed in the employee lot in front of Wildcat Lodge.

Chrissie Balding Tune, UK Parking and Transportation Services spokeswoman, said most other employee and commuter lots will remain open for parking during the allotted time.
