AMES, Iowa – With saturated conditions and, potentially more rain in the forecast, Iowa State University officials are again asking for patience and understanding from individuals attending Saturday’s football game against Kansas State.

“Fans should plan to arrive early for Saturday’s 11 a.m. kickoff because wet conditions may affect the areas around Jack Trice Stadium,” Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard. “We will try to park as many vehicles as possible, but conditions could limit access to portions of the grass lots. We thank fans, in advance, for their cooperation.”

Here are some key points regarding parking:

• There will definitely be no RV or bus parking in the public grass lots (G2, G3, G4, G5, G8 or Veterinary Medicine). There are spaces on campus – north of Molecular Biology – available for fans who need to park a bus or RV.

• Based upon current conditions, Iowa State officials anticipate having to close public grass lots (G2, G3, G4, G5 or G8) south of the stadium. Should conditions improve overnight, portions of those lots could be opened for automobiles Saturday morning.

• Individuals, who normally park in those lots, are encouraged to consider spaces in campus lots (click here and select the “parking lot” layer for a campus map; the red, yellow or blue lots will be available at no charge for fans).

• There will be no public parking in the grassy areas near Hilton Coliseum Saturday. Those lots are being held for overflow handicapped parking and overflow donor parking (from Lot G7 should part of that area become unusable).

The best places to seek parking if your normal area is closed are various campus lots (click here and select the “parking lot” layer; use the red, yellow or blue lots).

Because the parking lot conditions can change, fans should check Cyclones.com (click here for the Gameday Central link) or the department’s various social media channels (Facebook and Twitter) for the latest information.
