Aramark offers discounted discounted $7 parking in the Oak Street Ramp. Tell the attendant on site that you’re a concession staff member. You may need to show the attendant your ID to get the discount.
The ramp can be a little confusing so make sure to note which level. Parking is very limited, so carpooling is highly encouraged.

You must check-in with the laptop people to be eligible for a donation.
There is a second check-in after you enter the doors. You have to write your name on the white sheet labeled Achieving Dreams.
Concessions are accessed from the main concourse. Proceed up the ramp from check-in to the concourse and proceed to your assigned location, using the posted section numbers, observing the stand names as you go. If you are unsure if you are in the correct location, please ask to speak to the stand manager and verify you are in the correct location. 200 level stands are accessed from the elevators located on the concourse.
Sign-In: When you arrive at the stand, you should find the stand manager and sign in on three sheets. #1 The Achieving Dreams sign-in sheet. You must sign your own name to this sheet and indicate your arrival time to the stand (not the check-in line or parking lot). #2 and #3 . Only adults need to sign the Alcohol sheet at Huntington Bank Stadium.
When you arrive at your assigned stand, you should find the stand manager and sign in three sheets.
- The Achieving Dreams sign-in sheet. You must sign your own name to this sheet and indicate your arrival time to the stand (not the check-in line or parking lot).
- Yellow Volunteer Acknowledgement form
- Alcohol Acknowledgement form: Anyone serving alcohol must sign.
If you are new, you should be assigned a buddy to help you. If you do not receive a buddy assignment, please ask one of the managers. It is their responsibility to assign buddies, but sometimes they don’t know you are new or may be busy at the time you signed in.
After signing in, you should be given a role and/or setup task. Most jobs are POS attendants, taking customer orders and payment and serving beer. A limited number of backup/runner and kitchen jobs are available. If you are under 18, you are not allowed to serve alcohol, so must be a runner/backup.
You should use the checklists to help you complete the task successfully. If you are new, please ask another volunteer or the stand manager for help.
A meal voucher for a limited number of food items is available in the stand. Volunteers must take their meal break before the gates open. Make sure to report back to the stand before gates open to be ready to serve.
Prior to gates opening, the manager will hold a pre-shift stand meeting and we will finish any remaining setup tasks, make sure the stand is clean and organized and begin serving food for volunteers.
During the event, if you find you need a restock on items, such as cups or notice items running low, such as pretzels or popcorn, let your stand manager know. Do your best to keep your area clean and organized. If the front counters need attending, either try to clean them up or ask the stand manager if anyone else is available.
All end of the event, everyone must help clean, even if you have completed cleaning your immediate area. All checklists must be turned into the floor manager. Once verified, you will sign out by writing your shift end time on the Achieving Dreams sign-in sheet.
