Google Maps this: student union, university of central florida for the exact location of where to go. There are 2 docking areas at the union and you can use either of them, to unload and bring your computer inside the student union. Your best parking location is at/near Parking Garage C (can be found on the google map).

Additional Information:
-All proceeds will go towards the prize pool and venue.
-120 spots available for computers to be set up. This is a BYOC event.
-Parking in reserved 24/7 parking spots is a bad idea.
-You may purchase a 1 day parking permit from parking machine vendors around the parking lot, we cannot guarantee you won't get a school ticket from parking services (although generally they don't give tickets on weekends, we can't guarantee this).
-We will also be having a LAN downstairs, but it will not be involved in Starcraft 2. If you are only interested in it, RSVP on that event's page.
-Closer to the lan I will make a post in the tournament section and try to get our event on the TL Calendar.
