Street Parking suggestions

find the closest spot on the side of the street that says 'no parking on Saturdays.' They never ticket anyone
I sometimes park over in moly bio and walk if it's a nice day. I don't get a chance to make it to campus often and it's nice to revisit, and getting in and out is easy.
We sometimes park in the garage across from Gerdin. Not a bad walk.
Teachers lot. Where RCA students park when they have to leave the stadium.
Park in the West Ames HyVee and pay the $1 for CyRide. You’ll be dropped off in front of CYStephens. Afterward you’ll be picked up across the street.

Make sure you review these. The first shows the double fine zones for illegal parking and the second shows all the free lots on campus.

I never realized there were so many free lots on the campus during the weekend. I wonder how fast Lied fills up.
Big bluestem or little bluestem off of Mortensen Dr. Not a bad walk, plus there is a secret sidewalk you can find on Mortensen.
The lied lots full up quickly. We park in the ramp across from gerdin if available or behind the power plant and walk. It’s not too bad and usually drink some beers once we cross Lincoln way
In 2019 when the grass lots were closed for most of the season due to all the rain we got the ramp across from Gerdin filled up quick but there were other lots in that area free to park at that is not a bad walk to JT. The earlier you got there was the key too. If you are willing to risk a ticket or possible tow on a residential street closer to the stadium you may as well just pay the $20 and park in one of the GA lots.
That one fills up early. We have only gotten in it a few times. There is a regular group that gets on the bottom level at the crack of dawn. It’s a fun atmosphere and an easier walk than some of the stadium public lots.
