So what I have been doing for years is setting up my tents on Friday night and then leaving my truck in the Brown parking lot. I would tear down after the game on Saturday, load it up in my truck, and then leave it there until Sunday.


Obviously I won't be able to do that anymore. My plan for later games is when we get some pledges to borrow one of their parking passes at the dorms for the weekend and do my old routine, but I don't know what I'm gonna do for this weekend. So I have some questions.

-do they allow vehicles on campus on game days to drop off stuff at the grove?

-parking in yards of frat houses is off limits I assume? Do they let people with fraternity parking passes stay on campus for the weekend?

-I'm guessing rushing the grove is still at 9:00, correct?

Add anything I might need to know that I left off. I'm expecting a complete clusterfrick, and am somewhat relieved that I won't have to be dealing with this shite after this season.


TIA

Yes. But if you park without a pass ANYWHERE your arse is toast.

There's going to be security at every parking lot across campus so don't think you can go down that hill behind Kinard and park there.

Yeah it blows.

I'm assuming there is a shuttle system for people without passes. Where would said shuttles run from?

Where should I park?

Oxford middle, the conference center, movie theater, and whirlpool lot off coliseum all have free shuttles.

So instead of getting up early to get the beer cold, I have to get up early to beat someone to a parking spot.

So can we carry coolers on the shuttles?

There is no way this can suck as bad as I am imagining it

Doesn't say, but I'd imagine so.

Also, if you want to get on campus to unload stuff at the grove on Sat, you've got to enter from Universtiy ave or Old Taylor.

Coolers less than 40 quarts are allowed. Obviously no open containers or exposed alcoholic beverages.

While I do not know for sure about all of these here is my stab at it.

Without a pass I would imagine no, not with out paying.

Not sure about parking on the yards but yes a fraternity pass is considered on campus and they will be able to enter campus.

Have not heard anything different.

Just an extra side note because I like you guys, the parking lot behind boure has been expanded dramatically to about 3 times its original size and would be a decent place to park.

Drop everybody and all your shite off, then one person parks and catches the shuttle.

The little info packet that came with the tickets says you can get on campus without a pass. Only to drop stuff off and only from Old Taylor or University

The main question I have about this is how are they going to handle the shuttles after the game. With all of the traffic it could take hours to get everyone back to their cars.
