Planning the trip to Gainesville- GAMEDAY PARKING

[Cow Pie]

A mile to me is not a big deal at all, my concern is safe parking for the vehicle and being around other Bulls

That is my concern as well... a mile is nothing really to walk... how early does your lot open and how much does it cost??

I now have concerns with the shuttles per some UGA and Vol fans that have told me that they don't have enough of them on game day and if you get strained then its a 7 mile death march to the stadium / back to you car.

lets shoot for this spot if so post details please

I spoke with a lady from the bus lines and she said that they will have plenty of buses on duty for game day running from the Hilton to the stadium. They will have someone on duty where you can buy your bus tickets and this is where the USF Alumni Pregame Tailgate is going to be located.

I also heard that this is where some of the USF buses will be dropping off as well. They take both cash and credit card, BUT to be smart and safe I would bring cash in the event their credit card system is not working.

Since its so late for my group to change lots and all we are just going to stick with the Hilton Conference Center... and will be starting our tailgate at 6:30AM.

Unless this other spot at the school comes through, I'm sticking with the Hilton as well. Seems like there will be any ample amount of Bulls there.

Just talk to the principal and he says it is a go you can park here first come first serve "free"! there is room for about 37-40 full size autos. So let me know if anyone else wants to park here!

Parking is in front of the school.

The construction you see to the left is now luxury student housing if you travel toward campus and turn left on NW 7th ave just after those student condos they are called University House Apartment  that are in walking distance to the campus stadium etc...go about 40 50 feet you will end up right in front of the school. One or two other teacher are parking here too.

I think we're going to park here. I'm just going up with a buddy, so is anyone going to be tailgating here or just parking?
