Driving and Parking in Annapolis and Stadium Parking:  The Reunion Committee urges you to use the contracted bus transportation.  If you MUST drive, remember that traffic in and around Annapolis on Reunion weekends is often busy.  Parking spaces are hard to find.  Due to security restrictions, non-Department of Defense stickered vehicles will not be permitted onto the grounds of the United States Naval Academy.  However, due to five other reunions, parking on the academy grounds will be nearly impossible.  Game day parking at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is strictly limited to those with a pre-paid parking pass.  Off-site parking is available at Germantown Elementary located behind the stadium or the Park & Ride at Harry S. Truman Parkway.  You may also try off-street parking.

Schedule:

Bus schedule will be given out a check-in.  All classmates should make every effort to check-in at the Westin prior to attending any reunion events!
