Iowa Tailgate - Lot G2/3

[Tailg8er]

When are you student lot tailgaters getting in line?

Lot opens at 9:30, just trying to get an idea if most are getting in line late tonight, or if most will wait until early tomorrow, like 4-5 am?

I only actually parked in that lot for one Iowa game, 2007. We intended to park there in 2005, but tried to get in that morning a couple hours before it opened. There were so many people in line that we got stuck up in Vet Med.

In '07, we took the van down about midnight. There were already so many people in line, that we were closer to Reiman Gardens than we were to the entrance by the time they let us in.

So, I'm thinking with a 9:30 open, if you aren't there by bar close, you're risking getting stuck in a different lot.

We had planned on driving up at 6am and trying our luck. We did the same the last time the game was in Ames and it worked out ok. Although that was a 5pm kick. I am not sure people are as hardcore anymore for arriving early.

Ehh, I think people are still hardcore about tailgating, especially for the Iowa game following a win.

Our crew got in line for the UNI tailgate a couple hours before the lots opened & ended up across from Reiman Gardens.

For this game and a 3:30 kickoff, you better be in line before midnight to even get in that parking lot. And probably to be safe, you might want to get there early evening tonight.

I thought the lots opened at 7?

Anyway, I was in that lot in 09 and 11. In 09 we were down there at 3 a.m. and were clear to the North side of G3 which is the spot I would pick every time.

I'm tailgating. Not going to mess around with a line for the entire day since there isn't a bad seat in the student section.

I think they're talking about the line to get into the tailgating lots, not the student section in JTS.

Currently in line for this lot and not a ton of people yet
