Athletic Dept. releases Gameday Information
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Dang was hoping they would budge a bit on the water bottle rule. Anyway, my go to tip is to fill up water bottles in the bathroom sinks. Water is cold and there is rarely a long line.
I know they have drinking fountains - are they not the kind that have bottle fillers?
I think there may be more questions than answers in that info. This is going to be so much fun. Parking is going to be a mess, any one seen an inflow/outflow for the lots? That would be nice. Vet Med and Grass lot traffic will be funneled back towards the Stadium or East on 16th, which us under construction. Boy that sounds like fun. The Duff and 16th intersection will be nothing but a traffic Jam. Stay away from that area.
Apparently we can use a second pass to use for tailgating if I read this correct, plus still no definition of a car in regular lots. They gonna let in Short Busses, Ambulances, Trailers or Short Campers as in years past? I can guarantee none of those fit in 1 parking spot.
Ticket pedestals? So no actual people just a pedestal? So if our ticket does not scan no big deal just walk in. I kid but who sees this going well???
I have been up, looked at lots, folks are going to be disappointed, these moves are not good for the overall Cyclone Football GameDay Experience. JMHO
Go Cyclones
They do have bottle filling line but the lines are insane(doesn't help that people park at them and drink a few bottles before moving on, though i understand the thrist). Plus I could be wrong but it feels like they only have 4 on each side of the stadium.
Me too. It’s rough when you have nosebleed seats to keep refilling. Was hoping we could bring in two at least.
This post followed by a loss to UNI should be one heck of a start to the season. Then Iowa kicks our as*. Then they announce Cy Town isn't happening. Thank goodness for basketball.
Frankly, if your vehicle doesn't fit in 1 parking spot then it should either require a second pass or be considered an RV.
Luckily they started pouring concrete today, so i'm guessing they should have it ready to go by Saturday..... fingers crossed
Will be interesting on how this is policed as it is in bold letters stating the one vehicle policy.
I agree. But they have allowed, short busses, ambulances, campers in in the past. Really not going to work now so are they going to stop those folks from bringing in that vehicle?
If you are an Ames resident, we've had to live with this debacle since April, so I really can't see how in 4 days they have it open. They even had someone drive their car through a just poured stretch going from Duff west onto South 16th. I've avoided this area all summer. Feel bad for businesses on the south side of 16th especially Dublin Bay.
so ISU has cut off an hour of tailgating and now asks patrons to not arrive more than 30 minutes early?

PARKING POLICIES
Lot Openings
Please do not arrive more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled opening of the parking lots. Cars staged or parked near the entrance of each lot may be asked to move until 30 minutes in advance of the lots scheduled opening. On average, our data shows that only 20% of the stalls are filled within the first two hours of lots opening.
No tailgating is permitted until the lots are open and any vehicle entering the lots prior to the scheduled opening times may be subject to tow.

Don't they force all gameday traffic exiting the student lots and Vet Med to turn right (eastbound) on S. 16th? Sounds like a real debacle.
Yup, I live off Duff south of 30, so I've had to deal with that almost daily. I did notice that once they started pouring the eastbound lane of 16th, along with that middle section, they were able to get it open fairly quickly within a few days. Knowing this crew, they'll probably keep it closed though, or some other moron will take their car for a swim in it again.
Still 6 (or more) hours except for the morning games, in which case it's 5 (or 5.5).
i can drink at least 2 bloody marys in that hour
Just got the email from ISU athletics with John Walters explaining how to download your tickets. Yeah, I can see the lines moving a tad slower because of the all mobile tickets issues.
They always stress it in the pre-season information. They rarely actually police the "one vehicle, one parking space" rule in the general paved lots.
