Where did you buy the parking pass? We are going and staying at a local hotel on Friday night.
Stay here and you can walk to the stadium:

We're doing the Best Western Plus in College Park, about a mile to the stadium so walkable. Was just trying to see if we could get a tailgate group going but if not pre-gaming in the hotel room won't be so bad :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Staying there again. Not the most exciting hotel location but easy access to Stadium.
Come again? Calling Byrd a dump is being kind. Xfinity Center for hoops OTOH, pretty nice venue.
Well, no reason not to start in the hotel room, but I'm sure there are a couple watering holes you can hit on the walk toward campus. Looney's is a typical sports/college bar a block or so from the main entrance.
I laughed, too. But I'm just there for the football, saw my first game there in about 1973, so it's good enough for me...
I like it, gets loud, on campus, good tailgate scene, no bad seat in the house
The regular campus shuttle buses will be running. Don't know the current policy, but you might need a student/university id to board. There is no dedicated shuttle service designed to move people from the lots to the stadium. And with traffic, it will almost certainly be faster to walk anyway. If you are making the trip, I bid you safe travels. Enjoy the game.
Interesting, I thought they did have the buses picking up near some of the lots and over to Xfinity for hoops games. Perhaps it wasn't a dedicated bus service, per se, but I know I got onto a bus near one of the outer lots and it basically went straight to Xfinity. Must have gotten lucky to get onto whatever regular campus bus it was that was heading in that direction. In any case, didn't need to present any type of UMd-affiliated ID whatsoever.
