Handicap parking at Sanford

I’ve googled this already. And policies I found were from 2008. Once you pass Myers quad don’t they have coned off areas for handicap before the bridge? Or are those parking pass only? Seats are in 304.
I know that’s an easy entry area, just don’t know access from there, or even if that’s best place to park
Eta. Haven’t been to home game in A while, just playoffs, and national championship games. Family is taking my dad, who can walk, but has multiple knee replacements, and it would be a whole lot better if he can park closer. Also seats are just 6 rows up in 300 deck. I know there are elevators, instead of him having to walk the ramps. I have not googled that yet, and don’t expect anyone here to know where those are. So I will Google it. But any info on parking for handicap would be beneficial, if it’s changed since 2008. I know renovations were done, any help with any good information is appreciated. Go Dawgs!

I don't have any info on handicap parking but here is a plan I used before I had hip replacement and my hips were bad. I had a buddy drop me off in front of the Chemistry building and I walked down the steps to the back side of Sanford where the gates are on the 300 level. After the game I found a spot to sit and wait for the traffic to clear enough for them to come back by and pick me up. Took a radio and listened to the post game show while I waited.

Unofficial advice-
Come in from East Campus Road by the railroad tracks and pull in to the "Don't Pull In" area where the team buses and official vehicles all go, and while the security guards tell you to get the frick on, unload your dad and a guardian, then you back out and park somewhere else and meet up later in 304.
To get back out after the game, I don't have a clue. They shut so much shite down after a game I wouldn't know what to tell you with confidence.

I do know there's an elevator at 111/112 and there can be a line, but they will let invalids to the front of the line usually, people in wheelchairs and such, and make the fat people wait. In my experience.

It's been a minute for me, but I seem to recall only people with parking passes being allowed past the East Campus/Cedar Street and East Campus/Baldwin Street intersections.
You won't be able to get to the location above unless things have changed or someone has mercy on you.
If you park in the East Deck or at the Intramural Fields, you can ride the shuttle to the stadium and back.

It's been a minute for me too, so I claimed it as unofficial advice.
One would think this would be easily searchable for dropping off handicap people to the stadium, but my search and OP's search shows it is not. I hope OP's dad can get in and out of the game with the least hassle possible.

I laughed a whole lot at this comment.

Bought Tate parking for Dawg walk for parents first game. Wanted them to experience the Dawg Walk. shite was expensive, but it’s only money, and the memories from them seeing their first game and a days worth of Dawg Awesomeness is worth it Nephew just passed his pre-law. This is going to be a fun weekend! Go Dawgs! What’s 316 look like these days, construction wise? Not that it matters.

Thanks Rig. As much as I don’t want my dad walking up ramps or stairs, he is one determined badass motherfricker, and will rather fall, and pick himself back up than think he can’t do something on his own. He’s good at doing that shite too. Not two months ago, we rafted a few miles through Canyon Country on the Colorado River. Multiple knee replacements on both knees. Shoulder replacements o. Both shoulders. Sets off all alarms in airports

I just assumed all the handicapped spaces would be taken up with visiting MiZZZou fans.

Yeah, we did something similar with my Dad back in 2018 when we attended the opener vs Austin Peay. Doesn't matter that it was a shite opponent. I caught a game BTH with my Dad.

this is correct at least for the baldwin street side. You must show a pass for entry past the barricade.

We park in the East Deck walk about one block to the buses and they let us out just about at the stadium. That's the way to go. My father in law doesn't get around the best anymore so that's the reason we do it. Get there early or there will not be any spots.
