Public parking lots at Jack Trice Stadium open at 5 a.m. Saturday. Officials prefer that parking stalls be used by fans who have tickets to the game. Public parking near the stadium is $15 for cars and $20 to $30 for RVs and buses. Medical accessible parking is located in Lot S-2.
Those entering public parking lots may be directed on to another area to allow for emergency vehicles and team bus traffic.
Donor (Cyclone Club) parking
Cyclone Club parking, which also opens at 5 a.m., is located directly adjacent to and north of the stadium. Vehicles must have a parking permit to enter reserved areas. Patrons should have parking passes ready for attendants to tear. Parking passes must be prominently displayed at all times.

I usually park in the lot around Hilton, If I show up around 5am will I get a spot or is it best to come earlier. What time do you think that lot becomes full? Thanks.

So after reading through this thread, if our group doesnt get to the south grass lots by 6 am they will all be full?? This has usually been the only places we have been to tailgate, so if these fill by 6 am, where is the next best option.
Thanks.

What is the policy for parking passes? I have a pass for lot B4 but want to park in C3. Is that possible or would the parking nazi's tell me otherwise?

Getting in line at 6 PM on Friday!

Is there usually a line for G7 for the Iowa game? Noticed two or three cars in line last week about an hour before gates opened.

They will let you park in C3, but you will have to pay the $15. I don't think the parking pass will work.

beings as it just became a lot last season "usually" is a pretty small sample - and never for an Iowa game.

According to the parking map, you're going down a donor level. I'm guessing they would prefer you to park where your pass is located for space reasons, but if you were to find someone who parks in C3 that would be willing to swap passes for you, that would probably work.

Is there going to be anyone else that will be tailgating around their vehicle on Friday night/Saturday morning?

This game is a big reason why I donated. It really sucked *** being the guy that didn't go out and party friday night because they were sitting in line to get a tailgate spot. Now I can show up at 5AM and waltz on in.
