Don't know where you park but it looks like rain has caused the IM fields and other overflow parking to be closed....

UGA alerts fans to expect parking, traffic challenges for Alabama football game...

Good luck all...

frick, I don't normally park down that way but there is no doubt that all the people who park that way will overflow everywhere else now.

Thanks for the heads up...and look out for more:

Depending on conditions, some traditional tailgating areas also might be closed for safety reasons and to prevent turf damage. UGA will make those decisions later this week.

Is the rain supposed to be THAT bad? I'm seeing 30-60% chance which usually means chance of moderate-light rain..

It's not about what's going to fall but about what's already fallen.

I dunno what it's been like down there, but it's been raining off and on all week up here in Clemson country. And there's a Mexican hurricane out there that could bring us 7 inches of more rain through Sunday. That won't all reach Athens, but I bet some of it does.

And raining like a motherfricker right now.

It if stopped raining in five minutes, and didn't rain a drop for the next 2 days, those fields would still be mud bogs on Saturday.

shite. Saturday we are going to actually tailgate for once. I was planning to go to ECV like I did back before college. You think I have a shot at a spot?

Hope Sanford has good drainage. I'd hate to witness something like Dolphins @ Steelers in '07. 375 total yards for both teams. 3-0 final score with 24 seconds left in the game.

I don't think this will impact anybody showing up early. I have a feeling it'll be hell if you get there past noon which is probably about when ECV fills up and people spill over to the IM fields. If you're tailgating you'll be there way before that happens anyways.

We practiced outside most of the week so far in the rain....Bama practiced in their IPF....when the field is soaked and it rains Saturday, who has the advantage?
