Lot 11, 13 and 17 ingress

[Maroon13]

If you use these lots and enter from Stone, did you have any issue entering prior to the game?

I park in this area with a parking pass. At noon, 6.5 hours before kickoff, I tried to turn onto Bully blvd from Stone (eastbound). A barricade and MSU truck was in the east bound lane on Bully blvd. As the vehicle in front of me and I went around the barricade, an employee stopped us and said the eastbound lane at Stone was closed on Gameday. Mind you westbound Bully blvd was still open from presidents circle across Stone. I showed the employee my parking pass. Still a no.

I was instructed to drive to blackjack, to Hardy and Presidents circle and enter from presidents circle. So I did with no problem because I was so early.

But my question is why? I can see the lot and you send back me into traffic and funnel me into the middle of campus? Maybe this employee received better instructions later in the day and this was corrected but... I'm concerned about the ingress map.

Same reason you have to go all the way to Poor House to get back to Starkville

Last year I could enter from stone.

I'm hoping the employee was wrong and this gets corrected this week. Otherwise I'll have some parking passes to sell. Just let me know now so I can plan accordingly.

I mean how hard would it be to go around since you know in advance?

It was already closed at 9:30 when I tried to go in there.......

It isn't hard for me because I'm so early to tailgate. I can't imagine what Hardy and Blackjack will look like TN game a few hours before kickoff.

Because even Saturday, 6.5 hours before kickoff, I had to sit through the light at blackjack and Hardy twice because of so much traffic at the band and resident hall.

My question is more about why the red on the map is being enforced on Bully prior to red on Stone going into effect.

6.5 hours prior to kickoff, Stone is open. West bound on Bully blvd is open. Why isn't eastbound Bully Blvd open? (Rhetorical question that I expect very few to understand)

Don't matter. The school responded to my email. I will plan accordingly.

It’s not good for tailgating, but lot 26 has great ingress/egress.
