Got myself a pass for lot 106. Usually I've got to get there extra early for parking, does that change with a pass?

Any tips on getting to or exiting 106?

Appreciate it.

I would still get there early to enjoy the tailgating.

You have a parking pass, you can roll in whenever you want.

I was coming in from Dennam, looks like north entry is necessary.

Planning to get there around 1pm for my kiddos first game.

The lot attendants are pretty good about finding you a space. The big question is which way you exit the lot vs which way you want to go. If they're the same, you're golden. If not, you can sit there until they stop contraflow, or head in the wrong direction until you get far enough from campus that you can go your own way. Neither is an ideal situation. My preference is just to hang out in the parking lot, it's less aggravating than stop and go traffic that gets you further from your destination.

Take your time, especially for this game. We had parking pass at Alex Box for Fl game. Got there around 10am. Plenty of places to park and areas set up tailgate spot. Now around 12-2 it was different story. Got packed quickly.

contraflow is now more...havent used contraflow all season.

If you have a pass, you can arrive anytime you want...even the last minute if you don't care about the activities around campus.

Lot 101 is the furthest lot North of campus...when you leave just head toward downtown then get on the interstate.

That's where Shelby Holmes was shot; it was very close to that on-ramp.

Make sure your doors are locked and you get through that neighborhood as quickly as possible.

Lots of people hang out under that overpass after dark.

Errrrr, if you think contra flow does not exist, you obviously did not sit in last weekend until 1am like I did.....

What I was in last Saturday on Highland Road south of campus sure looked like contraflow. One direction both lanes of traffic.

You're Damn right they still have contraflow. I was trying to get over to Buffalo Wild Wings an hour after the game and came through a neighborhood and apartments to get onto Stare St which took another hour. There was no traffic and when I got to Highland Road, I got my azz chewed out by a BR policeman half my age threatening to arrest me for going the opposite way into "contraflow." I just pulled out of the way and waited and an older officer came over an apologized. I told him which way I went and saw no sign nor traffic and heard there was no contraflow anymore, he told me that it's all screwed up. They're doing something different every game and not everyone is on the same page and/or not reading the memo.
