Does anyone know about parking and tailgating at Minnesota?
October 3rd, 2023 at 6:41 PM ^
Just park next to any of the 10,000 lakes.
October 3rd, 2023 at 6:46 PM ^
I could see this going quite badly
October 3rd, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
in michigan, we call them ponds.
October 3rd, 2023 at 6:59 PM ^
Both available
October 3rd, 2023 at 7:02 PM ^
Bring an ice scraper.
October 3rd, 2023 at 7:09 PM ^
Never been. But since this is MGoBlog in which any topic can spin off anywhere...
Minnesota brought their marching band to M once when I was in the band. They were by far the nicest group of people I met in that context. Both bands hung out together at Revelli Hall for quite a while after the game. They each brought T-shirts to give to us. I got one from a very attractive female, which I had for years until I made the mistake of mentioning within earshot of my MGoWife that I received it thereby. It has since mysteriously disappeared.
October 3rd, 2023 at 7:33 PM ^
MMB seen here, at the moment he realizes that shirt is gone and the 'why'
October 3rd, 2023 at 8:40 PM ^
Yep! Exactly!

How about park east of campus and take the light rail in? $3.50 light rail ticket for 6 hours.
If not, check this, it could not be more complete.
October 3rd, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
It actually could be. I just spent 20 minutes there and can't find what I need. Every parking spot they give in Minneapolis has no tailgating. Only the St Paul location has tailgating.
October 3rd, 2023 at 8:06 PM ^
breaking the (tailgating) law! breaking the law!
October 3rd, 2023 at 7:20 PM ^
Probably best to go to the fair lot and ride the shuttle. Assuming they’re still doing that again. We did that last time we played here and it was fine. This year we’ve got lot 37 passes.
October 3rd, 2023 at 8:06 PM ^
This is an option and it looks like the only real viable one.
Can I get a lot 37 pass on line?
October 4th, 2023 at 8:27 AM ^
Lot 37 for 3 vehicles in group I am with. Dealing with a shuttle after a night game didn't sound like a good option.
October 4th, 2023 at 9:25 AM ^
Is there a way to buy these parking passes on line?
October 4th, 2023 at 11:21 AM ^
Yes we purchased them on line through Vivid seats and stub hub.
October 4th, 2023 at 7:55 PM ^
$108 for a lot 37 parking pass.
October 5th, 2023 at 4:30 PM ^
Thanks for your help. I'll look for you in 37!
October 5th, 2023 at 4:31 PM ^
Thanks for your help. I'll look for you in 37! I'll be the one in maize and blue.
October 3rd, 2023 at 7:35 PM ^
There is none
October 3rd, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
Nobody knows. There's man lots of investigation, but it remains a mystery to this day. Not much has been said and many assumptions have been made about the maroon and gold and golphers. Few have ever returned to tell the tale.

Fairgrounds in St. Paul Lot S108. $10/spot.
Tailgating allowed, free fan shuttle.
October 3rd, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
I think this is going to be the answer.
Thanks
October 4th, 2023 at 5:46 PM ^
on stub hub S108 is $29.
Do I really want to worry about a shuttle after a game?
Now, section 37 is $108! wow
October 3rd, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
I’ve parked in Dinkytown where there are ample lots, and I’ll probably do that again this year. Tailgating scene is very underwhelming around the stadium; I’ll grab food in Dinkytown before the game.
October 4th, 2023 at 1:05 AM ^
Make sure to bring your own jug of water.
October 4th, 2023 at 7:07 AM ^
Tire chains and snowsuits.
October 4th, 2023 at 8:00 AM ^
My hotel recommended the linked site to manage parking. I’m not going to have a car here so no idea how useful it is, but here you go
October 4th, 2023 at 10:01 AM ^
I can't comment about the parking. Minneapolis is a fun city. Dress warm - there could be snowflakes later in the evening this Saturday.
Ok - snowflakes is an exaggeration - but, it won't be too far from frost in the morning.
October 4th, 2023 at 1:30 PM ^
Flying in Friday at 10:30. Buddy from CA (whose daughter attends Minn.) flying in at 2:30. Staying at Hilton Garden Inn on Campus, anybody else going to be there? Tailgating with an old friend from Kazoo who is a fellow M grad. Last time I was there was the RichRod game. And we won. Yea Steve Threet. Bringing some good mojo in yet again!
Go Blue!!

Flying in from LA, meeting a friend flying in from Denver. Quick 24 hour trip. Staying at the MSP Intercontinental. Will pre-game at the Stub and Herbs tent. Excited to check another B1G stadium off the books.
Fun fact! Because the Gophers were off the 1999-00 schedule, and we had The Grapes of Wrath rehearsals during the 2001 game, this will actually be the first LBJ I've seen in person.
You may go on with your day.

What you do is start drinking on a Thursday night at old Founders on the river in Grand Rapids for a Friday night game, eh, start the drive to Minneapolis when the bars close, crash out for an hour near the Illinois Wisconsin border, claim a couch at an ex-girlfriend’s apartment walking distance from the stadium, fire up the tailgate when she gets off work, watch an historic comeback capped by a John Navarre run on a WR throwback, drink at MSP bars and alumni house parties until the sun comes up Saturday, then find a park to play pickup basketball Saturday morning
