HPER Closures for September 2007

The HPER will be closed all day on Saturday, September 22, 2007 and Saturday, September 29, 2007 due to the Razorback football games.  Due to the extremely high nature of traffic around HPER and parking limited only to those with Scholarship parking, it is in the best interest of the HPER Building and members that we close.  We will resume normal operational hours the Sunday following each game day.
