Need advice from Tiger fans on getting son to game
Posted on 10/19/14 at 6:26 pm

I am taking my 9 year old son to the Ole Miss game. My son has special needs and cannot walk long distances without a walker or wheelchair. I need to get him as close to Tiger Stadium as I can. 3 years ago, we went to his first LSU game and used Pastimes shuttle. My understanding is they no longer drop off and pick up close to the stadium. Any advice from Tiger fans would be greatly appreciated.

Call the ticket office tomorrow re: handicapped parking.

I tried that last week and the ticket office did not offer any spots where I could park.

I see shuttle buses around, and I also see people being driven in golf carts. Maybe someone will post with info on how to access these services.

Best of luck man.
Only input I could give you is to look for people driving around in those golf cart looking things. Probably won't be hard to spot before the game. Post game might be a problem though. I'm not sure whether they can actually give rides or not. I'm sure they can make an exception. Wish there was something I could do to help. Best of luck though! and

Would one of those pedi-cab things be of any help?

I just clicked "Request Admin" and requested for it to get pinned.
Idk if it would bug the admins or get their attention more if we got more people to request it to be pinned

Send a letter by spec. delivery to Coach Miles... Seriously. The guy will drop everything to make sure you are given a preferential convenience.

I have a son with Duchennes. He lost the ability to walk at 10. He's been to quite a few games before and since. We always used a chair and either my wife dropped us off and picked us up close to the stadium or we parked in the free lots near the old front nine. Really not that far. I've pushed him in a chair and he's used a power chair. Marshals at the stadium are always more than helpful.
Good luck.
Good luck.

What do you mean? They didn't tell you where the handicapped parking is located and how to access it?

Anybody else going to the game with you? Get dropped off close with him and then the other go park?

You can park and take the city bus from Downtown. The system itself is a bit of a cluster, but it's easy parking and they will drop you off right by the practice fields. After that you could take one of those bike-rickshaws to the stadium. There are always about 10 or so looking for fares at any given time. The only downside is that you may have to catch the bus around 3:30 - 4:00 for a 6:15 kick

Tiger trails were parked outside the stadium last night. You may can get some info by contacting them.

Touchdown Village has shuttles that drop off at the stadium.

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I have several options to pursue this week. I really appreciate it!

I would drive as close to the stadium as I could and once I got to the barricades I would explain to the police officer my situation and I would almost bet that he could find you a place to park or he could get one of the officers on the utvs to transport y'all.

I was wondering this...do they allow them onto campus or make them stop at the edge? (There's always plenty of them around the Aster? Alaska? W. Chimes area)
