They didn’t start traffic enforcement until late this morning - no one directing traffic.

 

[No Name all Game]

For years they have let the RV's line up on Porter Rd early in the morning now they are blocking down the road if you get in before they close down the road the make you move. This is causing all the traffic problems.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

I agree. I made it to Park Ave at 7:30 am. Lots supposedly opened at 8:00 but I basically sat in the same spot until 9:20 am before we started moving.

University Police control traffic patterns, routes and road closures.

No regrets chosing to not get involved with this mess...

I’d be mightily pissed off if I paid $500+ for Blue preferred RV parking and could not get to the lot... screw that

 

[NittPicker]

What are scalpers asking for yellow passes??

We parked by Land & Water Research Building. Had a spot and were told we had to move for “vendors”. Luckily we found a spot not too far from where we were. The vendor is a Prospector’s BBQ box truck! WTF? They have a stand by the stadium, so again, the greed of the University punishes the alumni and fans. Crazy.

Yep... add to that the obligatory Parking gestapo... no thanks*

With such a confined, urban setting from which to operate, it's understandable that the University can't figure out where and how to park cars and RV's.

Somebody has to pay for all of those AADs.

I am sure that the towing companies are having a great day.

You're lucky you get to park at all. Here's where you'll be tailgating next year if you don't cough up some more cash:

I couldn’t agree more. I was dropping nearly $5k per season for club seats and reserved parking. It infuriated me when they got rid of the traffic cop where 322 dumps onto Route 26. When there was a cop there, he/she would adjust the light to meet demand and get people “moving” with hand gestures, etc.

Without this human intervention, the traffic flow went to shit. I guess there isn’t enough revenue generated on game days to man this intersection with a traffic cop.

 

[massimoManca II]

Stay TF home...if you can't handle a little adversity

With a 100k+ in the area, there was always adversitygetting to/into the stadium... now there’s simply more hubris and ignorance by decision-makers ... it’s the University’s “Hah! we-gotcher-money” attitude that pushed me over the edge

 

[ClarkstonMark]

Bingo!

Seriously, why don’t they charge $100 to park.
Are people going to stay home?
No!
Paying 20.40,60 to park is a bargain.
PSU is leaving a lot of money in the hands of scalpers with this product.

I'd pay $100 to park on Old Main Lawn w/ a bumper dumper. Other than that, yeah...it's a bunch of hay fields.

Maybe people should not try to start lining up to park at 4-5 am.

Parking revenues are only $500k or so per game. Maybe if they had a bigger budget.

so wait....you want 100 thousand people starting to arrive at 6 pm for a 8 pm kick?

4pm? 3?

High brow club seat member huh? I would expect nothing less than first class for Sir Nittany Ziggy. Ziggy has never seen steerage class bank that!

WTF you talking about? 4-5 am has nothing to do with 6 pm.

so when should it be ok to come to park? I always thought people arriving early should even out the traffic congestion

 

[RGWhirly]

Not trying to line up at 4-5 am and sitting on roadways for 2-3 hours while still dark out.
