Does anyone park on campus and take Cy-Ride?

Honestly you’d want to park downtown or something and take red west as opposed to on campus.
I park on campus but just walk to the tailgating lots. I've never seen a bus pass me during the walk.
Yeah I think people park in the mall lot and take red west to Hilton area (can't remember exact stop from 10 years ago)
I've parked in a shopping mall in north Ames which worked well. Let off on Lincoln Way at Hilton and picked up at same spot after the game. It's a quicker exit out of Ames post game too compared to the tailgate area which I have had the pleasure of sitting in line for an hour creeping along.
Yep. We have parked at the mall and taken Cyride in. It works pretty well and is dirt cheap. Also my kids thought it was cool.
Otherwise I just park by Moly-Bio and walk a mile+...on a nice day its fun to relive campus a bit.
We have parked in research park area and just walked from there. There’s a bike/walking path that goes under 30 and comes out at Vet Med.
Grandpa's old office was at the Armory. I figured if I parked there his spirit would make sure everything worked out.
What's Uber like on gameday? I plan to be pretty drunk after, obviously. I'm staying at AmericInn on S 16th Saturday night. Maybe they'll let me park there before the game. Anyone done that? Do those hotels over there shuttle people to games?

If you're early enough there's quite a bit of street parking in the neighborhoods just west of Jack Trice. Quick walk to the lots especially if your groups in A-D. Parking tickets are $40 if you end up on the wrong side of the road. https://www.cityofames.org/government/departments-divisions-i-z/police/game-day-parking
Unfortunately I don't think I can get there early enough. Have to pick up a friend at airport mid-morning.
I think I ended up parking by Design or Black Engineering and walking all the way to Jack Trice the last time Iowa came to Ames. I enjoyed the exercise and pleasant stroll through campus, though.
I tried to park closer (e.g., around the East Deck) but nopeeeeeeeeeeeee zero space.
There's like a billion parking spots at Cornerstone. They could make some good money doing a park and ride there.
Last Iowa game parked N of agronomy in the lots and walked over. Most other games were quite a bit closer
Yep, I think we wound up over by Town Engineering that game and still a very easy walk even for us old people
Good to hear. I'm in much better shape than two years ago!
