We like to show up around 2 hours before kick off at the commuter lot. That's when the busses start their routes. There is usually a line already formed, but you get the Carver with about 90 minutes to kick off. That gives us time to hit a couple tailgates, see the band practice, get food, get to our seats with about 20 minutes to kick off.
After the game it is a bit of a dash to get back to Carver. We might leave with a few minutes left to get out quickly. Otherwise you are stuck there for about an hour or an hour and a half.
