We got free tickets and a parking pass to the football game tomorrow. we have to be back home asap after the game. So my question if I park in C4 is it a pain to get out of with heavy traffic or should we park in our usual spot? We park at a friends house, but its a long walk, but once we get back to the car we have good luck of getting to the interstate in must minutes. I can't afford to be stuck in Hilton's parking lot after the game? Thoughts?
Thanks

I think it is tough to predict given the variables of: how many people show up tomorrow given our record/weather forecast, and is the game competitive to the end, so no one leaves early, is it only semi-competitive so we loose 1/4 of crowd, or is it a blowout and thus only a fraction of people stay until the end.

Of I were you I'd decide based on how important it is for you to see the end of the game no matter how competitive it might end up being. Are you willing to leave early in a close game? If not, I wouldn't park in C-4 if getting home quickly is your top priority.

If you park in C4, park as close to the northeast corner of it as you can. They don't let people exit that lot from the west side due to foot traffic and instead funnel everybody to the east.

Could VERY easily be very few people left by games end and traffic might be easy.

I park in c4 and find very little wait to exit. with tailgaters staying late and many people leaving early (don't understand why) I pay to watch the whole game and NEVER leave my seats until after the team leaves the field. Anyway back to the original question. Give yourself 10 to 15 minutes tops and save walking to your usual spot.

4 minutes into the third quarter you should be able to beat all the traffic not in Lincoln Town-cars.
