To put this in some perspective - we have a good sized group of SYRACUSE fans making the trip to Akron. The school that gave us Jim Brown, Ernie Davis and Donovan McNabb. Holy S---! I think this is great!

Lot 34 is big enough for everybody. I'm a 34 regular and will be looking for you guys on game day. Can't wait

So what time does Lot 34 open up for tailgating? With the kickoff around 6pm...is 1pm too early to set up?

I know some places let you set up early and they just send someone around to check for passes or take money.

Will Lot 34 be a cash lot in 2010?

I still haven't received my tix/parking passes so I don't know which lot we'll be in yet...but want to find out about the lots in general and 34 specifically as that is one of the ones I heard we could be at.

I was usually there for night games with my group by 10 am and never had a problem.

Lot 34 is a cash lot. It's too far away to really be considered for a premium lot.

If you want to take a look on a map, it's the paved lot on the corner of Wolf Ledges and Carroll streets. Other options might by lots 27, 20, 35, 47, and 42. Wherever you end up, expect to walk about 1/2 mile to get to the stadium. Parking wasn't as important when designing the stadium as simply putting it on campus instead of 5 miles away in the suburbs like the Rubber Bowl.

Check the campus map for a good look. Be sure to click either the hybrid option in the google map, or the "dimensional map" tab at the top for two better views.

Looking at that map, has anyone ever parked over in lot 54 on the edge of route 8? Might be a fun place to raise the flag and get some reactions from passing drivers.

Last year that was the handicapped lot, with shuttles to take them to the stadium.

TexanMark, is it true that 'Cuse fans have bought over 3,000 tickets already?

I was told by an Akron Rep that 3-5k tix have been sold to Cuse fans so far. I'm assuming that includes the Cuse set aside in Section 105. Not sure if all those have been sold yet.

Okay it is Lot 34 for us...

Couple questions

1. I assume the lots open at 2pm...can a few in the tailgate party get in earlier than 4 hours prior to set up canopies? Or are the lots chained?

2. What is the preferred ingress route for Lot 34 coming off the Interstate? Would it be Buchtel Ave, left on Hill St, right on University Ave, left on Wolf Ledges Pkwy?

3. Is Lot 43 acrss the street a cash lot too? are both lots $5 or $10 on gameday?

4. Is there a shuttle from Lot 34 to the Football Field for those with mobility issues?

5. Finally are there any tailgate groups normally set up in the same place every week in Lot 34? Or is it a free for all (first come, first serve)?

6. Which corner of Lot 34 would you recommend we set up at to cause the least amount of problems with Akron fans?

I'm a big fan of lot 34. Plenty of space and not traffic.

1. We arrived really early last year and we just set up shop. No issues.

2. It doesn't matter if you get there early. Follow the Garmin.

3. Don't know about 43 but parking was $5 for 34 last year.

4. Did not see a shuttle but I got picked up by the campus and bar shuttles on exchange street and dropped off right by Spicer. The bus drivers are nice and will stop for you. If that doesn't work, you can drive your car to the area by the soccer field w/o leaving the parking lot pay controlled area. It is about 200-300 yards from that point to the Info.

5. There are many regulars in 34. Beer relays, music, and corn hole are the norm. Again, plenty of space for all.

6. You will be fine in lot 34 as long as you don't wear Can't State gear. I don't think you would have any issues at all. A few rowdy parties but many families as well. We will have a group of 15-20 ex Akron athletes, friends and family in our group.

All that we can hope for is nice weather and Syracuse to come out flat...

Thanks great stuff...expect I'll set up in one of the corners of the Lot. If we bring a small LCD TV and a set of kangaroo (rabbit) ears can we pick up ABC, NBC, CBS, etc??? from Akron?

BTW, if I arrive by 1pm should the lot be pretty vacant so I could set up in one of the corners?

I hope you come by and have one of our famous Hoffman White Coneys...from Syracuse.

Few will arrive to tailgate before 1pm. I'm sure you will have no problem finding a large space to set up.

Since the conversion to digital TV, not all network stations can be easily viewed in Akron. I'm guessing one or two is the best you can hope.

We'll be in Lot #9, directly behind the main scoreboard. If you want to stop in for a beer before you enter the gate, just let me know. :wave:

Thanks I'm telling everyone we are tearing down NLT 5pm. I hope to be walking through Lot 9 by 5:30 pm...hopefully enough time to have a quick one. I'd like to be in my seat by kickoff. Man I'm getting excited...hmmmm maybe I'll start setup by Noon. Let's hope for no rain, light winds and 76-78 degrees (just warm enough for the coeds to wear shorts and tank tops).

That sucks about the TV reception.

Mark, just get one of these and you can still watch TV at your tailgate party.
