PSU RV Parking Options..........

[Sooner Lion]

Would appreciate some help. I've got flights booked for the Pitt and Michigan games. I am looking at renting an RV for these games - mostly to tailgate. We'll drive up the morning of the game and drive back after the game.

What are the parking options for RV's (Non ORV)?

Thanks

Your options are mostly defined by other RV holders putting their passes out for sale or driving to the Grange and parking there. The blue, yellow and orange RV lot passes are mainly season ticket holders so you'll have to hope some sell their passes. If anyone knows or other options, please post them.

Take it from someone who had been driving his RV down for a couple games every year for 10+ years...

You are screwed.

Unless you have a connection - any RV pass for those games will be a) limited , and b) priced accordingly... then add on the price of game tickets and, voila, you’re out thousands of dollars

It only gets worse if we have a wet fall like last year, you’re paying a shitload to park at Nittany Mall ...

I was VERY fortunate to pick nice weekends... usually opted for lame OOC matchups or Tier 2 conference games so I coukd use some wiring to get a block of 12 tickets together and a preferred orange RV or Blue RV (sometimes even premium red RV ) parking... key thing was getting multiple families together and keeping the pocket-book damage to a “reasonable” level by picking the flaccid matchups...

No more RV trips for me, though

Not a season ticket holder?

Nope... 250mi away

You might as well bite the bullet and rent from one of the big events companies. They buy up a lot of the rv passes, put their rv in the spot and rent it out like a hotel. About $2000 for Friday until Sunday morning. Same price will get you a 3,200 sq ft house a few miles from the stadium.

Yeah - particularly for marquee matchups when you’d likely be stuck in traffic / being redirected to anywhere the indifferent vest-wearing parking goons tell you to go as the precious tailgate-time (that you’ve already paid so dearly for) slips past...

Picking up on this older thread, has anyone on the board tried the RV lot and shuttle service from Grange and, if so, how was it? Kids have been bugging me for a while to do an RV trip and I see hockey opens up Th/F before the Michigan game and Grange seems like an affordable compromise (versus spending $1000-$2000 on either an ORV pass or Nittany RV, etc.). TIA for any insights!

Stubhub has ORV for Pitt game under $400, didn’t look at Michigan.

The whole point of tailgating is to be in the midst of the game-day stadium-vibe ... it’s already bad enough that many of the lots are an Uber’s length away... would not consider going through all the trouble only to be miles and miles away ... #thatsnottailgating

If flying up. Go the tailgate guys route probably cheaper than scalping parking pass and renting RV. Just my two cents.

Everything that once made the PSU Football Gameday Experience honestly and truly unique...... is going through Death of 1,000 Cuts - administered by the Pantsuit Dingleberry.

But would you do her?

They have taken one of the best and most enjoyable experiences and made it one of the worst. To me, they are squeezing out the average fan .

How much you got?

As far as a place to park and get to the game its fine and they do have Electrical hookups, which was nice. I prefer to be at the stadium, but the weather forced the closure of ORV last year so we had to move to the Grange. Not my preference after paying premium scalp price on stubhub for the parking pass, but really didn't have a choice. Being at the stadium is by far the best choice, but for the Michy game I would imagine and rv pass would be pretty expensive.

We go to the Grange for 1 or 2 games a year since we're not ORV pass holders. Yes, it's not at the stadium, but it's still fun. The space per site is huge, plus electric and water hookups make the amenities nice. Tailgating still goes on and the shuttle has been smooth any time we've used it. We've only been up for bigger games and there are plenty of people there even during the game, not sure about smaller games. All in all, it's a good alternative to not being able to take the RV at all, or paying something crazy.

Time to do a circumcision to remove the foreskin from that face

Thanks for the responses! Seeing that Michigan ORV passes are running $1,200 or so right now on the open market, i think $160 for Grange (plus about $40 for the shuttles) looks pretty good lol. The electric and water hookups are a bonus as well. I will most likely give it a try in October.

I think you'll be happy you did, especially for a big game.
