COLLEGE PARK, Md. - ATTENTION BASKETBALL FANS!
The Terrapins take on Georgia Tech this Thursday in an ACC showdown at Comcast Center. Tip-off time is scheduled for 7 p.m., and fans are encouraged to arrive early and familiarize themselves with alternate routes to and from campus in order to avoid heavy delays.
Traffic on campus is expected to be heavier than normal due to the game time's proximity to rush hour. Fans are invited to enjoy dinner at the Comcast Center concession stands, which will open at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, and follow the following directions to best avoid congestion.
