The first light is Call Street, and the street you are on has just changed its name to Stadium Drive. The College of Medicine is to your left. Go thru the light, and pass the College of Medicine, a parking lot, a construction site, and then turn left into the new parking garage. You will park in the student area. There will be someone to give you a parking permit from 7:30-8:30 am, without a permit you may be ticketed. To get to the University Center Club, continue on Stadium Drive and it will turn left at the first stoplight after the road turns to the left.
