Best parking lots for tailgating - with a car or pickup

[Agoodnap]

I like a nice flat surface else it's hard to grill. Which are the best and which should be avoided.

Obviously lot 18 is a great choice if one is available. I'm planning to hold two tailgates this year (Illinois and Michigan) and I don't want to be chasing my food down a hill.

Help please.

12 is great if you can get in there.

Anyone know if lot 11 is flat?

 

[jshell65]

It is, but it is a fairly long walk to the stadium. other than the walk, its decent.

I parked in 36 last week. Have also parked in 38. Both fulfill your needs and are great for getting out onto Rt 99.

I parked in 16 for the Pitt game in 2019 and it was a blast. Numbered parking right across from the stadium and someone had setup a catered tailgate and invited us over for food and beverage (we tipped the vendor well!). There was live music, too. I don't know if it's like that all the time in that lot, but I would buy a pass for that lot again (I'm now over a lot or two in 13, but usually "upgrade" to a numbered parking lot for a game a year).

I will never ever ever park in Lot 12 as long as I live.
