Parking is $10 and is only available at the gate on the day of the event. Auto and stadium gates will open one hour prior to first pitch of the Toreros-Wolverines game.

Michigan, San Diego, UCLA and USC have combined for 87 NCAA Tournament appearances, 33 College World Series appearances and 15 College World Series Championships.
