How was the traffic flow in and out. Beautiful day and 330 start normally makes getting in a piece of cake but with all the recent lot movement and highway work, wanting some opinions before heading up for Buffalo.
TIA

The North lots 21, 22, 23, 24 seemed to have more vehicles earlier in the day. Exit was smooth heading towards Rt 322

I’m in 22 and had no problem. The only major problems are with noon games. I was surprised that 22 was full when I arrived just before 1:00. I parked in the 22 overflow which is ideal anyway. Paved spot, easy out.
I don’t recall ever parking in the overflow lot for any games that were not a whiteout.

Thats one lot I was looking to get in to for the game, glad to hear exiting was easy. You use exit 73?

Yes. Waddle rd through Toftrees. I’ve posted in other threads that noon games can be backed up through Toftrees for 30 minutes plus depending on the time you arrive. As far as non-reserved spots go, I wouldn’t change. 22 is on a hill though so it’s tough sometimes to level your tables and grill for tailgating.

Probably arrive by 930. Figure an hour to eat/ relax then start the walk over

You should be ok, but, like I said, noon can be unpredictable. You’re going to the Buffalo game? I’m betting it will be lightly attended anyway.

Cluster for lots 33&34. Bridge construction on Houserville re-routes entry to Puddintown then Orchard. They had us use the rarely used road off Orchard. Traffic was coming in from both directions and they didn’t have the old entry to 33&34 open further up the road. The brilliant minds decided to have all 33&34 traffic go up a steeper incline and then, once your pass was scanned by a single attendant, 34 continued in their usual route but they had the 33 folks drive back down the hill. Like, WTF? We decided to not exit in typical fashion as it would have you turn Right on Puddintown and back to College Ave where they now have a temp traffic light. We weaved thru 34 and made a left and exited out by the baseball stadium onto Porter and got out
relatively easy.

P.S. we got there for opening of lots at 8 and traffic was backed up. Also we had no notification of the issue with Houserville
being closed and new routes in or out via Puddintown/Orchard. Bridge project on Houserville is reported to be done by early October.

Lot 32, arrived 8:30. No problems getting in or parking. Left at the end of the 3rd. Getting out was easy, with good zippering, with no lip at all times. Previous years issues were all Franklin’s fault, obviously.
