    Better get there early, and be ready for a long exit

    My wife and I have 5 season ticket seats on Level One. We sell two seats to a friend and give them the parking pass. You can park just north of campus with an easy walk. It isn't like football.

    The grass off of Gale Lemerand by the honors dorms. I parked there for 20+ years.

    More specifically, when you pull into that parking lot, you might find an unrestricted parking spot. But, you also should see some cars parked on the grass unless you’re the first one there. If you see cars parked on the grass, you know you can park there.

    It was free today but only because it was during winter break. Once the students get back the lot and parking garage near the O'Dome will be for boosters that have a parking pass.

    Similar question about parking. Going to the Vandy on Feb 4th. Curious about where to park. This is a night game on a Tuesday, so not sure if that changes anything. Thanks in advance!

    The lots next to the O'Dome will be for boosters with a parking pass. A short walk from just north of campus or from the Law School area is your best bet.

    I used to take the shuttle but it has been horrible the last few seasons.

    Maybe they fixed it.

    Heading up for the game against the mutts on Saturday. Its been quite a while since I made it to Gainesville for a game, like pre-Mike White era lol. So it seems like the best bet for a Saturday game is just to find street parking north of university, is that the move?

    Also, I understand all my old haunts no longer exist :( Anyone have a great lunch recommendation?

    I heard the Purple Porpoise has good burgers. Or maybe try Burrito Bros, I heard they are pretty good too :(

    Do you play a lot of disc golf? I used to play a lot with Kenny Climo when I lived in Clearwater...
