I doubt we leave ankeny before 7:15 Brian, so I'm hoping to get there about 8:00. Here's hopin'.
BryceC: It really depends how you approach Ames... from the South or East, get there early. From the West or North, you should be okay with an 8 o'clock arrival as long as you use non-traditional paths to the stadium. IE: North, come through Pamel Court; West, come through Lincoln Way. Basically stay away from HWY 30 or Interstate 35 then stay away from Elwood, East Lincoln Way and 4th/3rd Street.
- keep.
Bryce, I think you would still get a spot at 8 but traffic at that point is going to be a nightmare.
I think we have abandoned the idea of getting into G3 (our usual lot) so we don't have to wait in the long line back thru Vet Med. We are planning on leaving Des Moines at 5am and parking in G5 for this weekend.
I wonder if it will be anything like the flood of traffic in 2005?
Bryce-
We park in S5. It is a gold level lot and I've yet to see this more than half full for either of the first two games (note - we need more gold level donors!).
"I'm going to start 7:30 Friday night," Bowers said.
The line of tailgaters is expected to start forming before midnight. Bowers and his staff will be charged with keeping things safe and orderly.
"We will be monitoring that all night," he said. "So that we can minimize any potential impact on the roadways, on the campus and within the city of Ames."
Yeah, we've been parking in S5 all year, but we didn't know what it would be like before this game. We've been grassdwellers before this season.
Grass lot to S5 in one year. Good job outta you, we need to get more grass dwellers up the the paved lots....
Yes, I am calling you all out! :wink:
