Mean Green Gameday Parking - Blue Lot

[Hall Eagle 2011]

We are season ticket holders but did not purchase Blue Lot passes in advance when we got our season tickets. This past Sunday, we purchased a Blue Lot pass for tomorrow’s game. I’ve read a few other threads on here and it seems like this Lot is extremely hit or miss. How is this working? Are they still over-selling these passes so we could get turned away when we get there? We normally park in the Orange Lot and walk, but tomorrow we wanted to try the Blue Lot.

Also - I drove through the lot this morning around 10:30 and they were setting up the tents for tomorrow - The Lot was practically full already. There were hardly any spots in that huge lot! It makes me weary for tomorrow. We were planning to arrive at 1:00.

We have already talked about paying the $350 to the MGSF for next year, which includes Blue Lot passes, but if we are going to get turned away, how will that even work?

Can anyone shed some light on the Blue Lot blues? :)

Students are required to vacate the lot before a certain time on game days. They do not oversell the lot either. You'll be fine.

The above poster's advice is almost always dependable. In the event this time turns out to be his only error this year, I am offering you my favorite recording of The Blue Lot Blues for consolation:

Get there early for tailgating.  I’ve never had a problem.  Rarely any line.  If you arrive within an hour or so of kickoff, just set your expectations to wait in a line for a bit, but you’ll still be fine.

Go in the Bonnie Brae entrance, south of Apogee. A lot less congested than the entrance off NT Blvd.

Get there early. If you are against socializing with other people in a great tailgate just bring some lawn chairs and some beverages while enjoying the weather.

Wonderful - I didn’t know that. Thanks for the prompt response!

I’ve always had the opposite experience
