Gameday questions
- Thread starter PCHSDawg
- Start date
Dog walk is usually 2 hours before kick off. So, I guess about 9 for this game.
As for parking, I’m not sure about on campus because I usually park off. You can park downtown and ride the shuttle back and forth. Also, there is parking along the street in the cotton district, which is where I usually park. Short walk in from the cotton district. I do it every game with a 4 year old.

After looking at the map I may plan on parking at the Wise Center and grabbing a shuttle to the Junction. Looks like it will be the easiest to get in and out. Pro's /con's? Not looking to tailgate or hit town after the game. 3hr drive each way, just want to get back on the road after the game. I don't mind getting up early to get a decent spot though.
I always park behind Campus Book Mart or in front of the old BSU. Only park behind campus book mart if hills don't bother you. It is much better for leaving after the game than parking on campus. You probably won't have a bad traffic issue if you stay the whole game considering it is UMASS.
Pay lot behind Griffin/Ruby on north side
Easy to get into from the north side pre game, easy to get out of.
last 11 am game, BYU, we came in at 10 no jams, plenty of spaces, easy walk to stadium.

Until I had a guy let me use his parking pass this season I always took the shuttle from the newspaper parking lot. They drop you off in front of the architecture building. If you plan on getting there in time for the dog walk you should have next to no wait for the shuttle to get to campus, and typically the line to catch the shuttle back off campus can be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour if it is a large crowd at the game. I've been told the best pay parking on campus is bully grass across from sorority row. Parking and catching the shuttle at the wise center is $20, too, and the one time I road that they didn't drop me off anywhere near the stadium. Felt like they basically just got me across the highway. That may have changed since then, though.
Streets will close @ 8:00 tomorrow. East MS Lumber on Russell St let's people park in their lot for $10 tomorrow, will be $20 next weekend. You can leave there easily taking Russell to the West or one of the other West bound residential streets
Some good responses already, but all this and more can be found at http://www.hailstate.com/gameday/football-vs-umass/football/1057/
Shuttles start at 8.

In all seriousness, if you haven't been back in decades you might enjoy some time on the front and/or back end to walk around campus and see all the changes that have taken place. Landmarks that you might remember are no longer standing, and the improvements to campus are continuing all over. Saturday's game is probably not going to be a huge crowd, so navigating around campus and Starkville won't be the insanity it is for a game like LSU or Alabama. Look, you do you, and if you need to drive up, park, go to the game and immediately go home, then so be it. But if you have a little extra time I think you might enjoy spending it on campus.
I park in the RV lot close to the Wise center and ride the same shuttle, its pretty easy. The only drawback is if you leave right after the game they will only let you turn one direction to ease traffic flow. Which way do you need to go after the game?
I always parked between the Entomology building and the Delta Gamma house on sorrority row. 20 dollars to park (its a grass lot). It is relatively close but fills up quick. You can park off campus multiple places too. there is a small lot on the corner of University Dr and caldwell street (downtown) and the shuttle will pick you up at that exact spot. Where are you coming from?
also because it is an 11:00 game... traffic leaving shouldn't be bad leaving the game so don't worry about that and if you haven't been to campus in a while... take a walk around after the game enjoy the weather Our Campus is beautiful this time of year. Take some pictures show the people that have kids about to make a decision where they want to go to college. This is not the same Mississippi State University you will remember if it has been decades. You will be proud of what our university has done, and the progress we have made.
Speaking of game day attire, seems like I heard tomorrow is supposed to be a blackout. Is that correct?
If you are leaving south on 45 then the Wise Center is perfect. Come out of the Wise Center , right on the new road" Bulldog Blvd maybe" , left on Poor House Rd, left on Octoc Rd, right on Artesia Rd, and right on 45 south. The new road really helps for a southern exit to 45 or 25. Reverse it coming in unless you just really want to circle campus.
Damn glad you posted that. I left after the BYU game going that way and ended up going down at least 5 miles of gravel road. Had no cell reception at all so could not get directions.
Yeah, I got lost out there one time too. Didn't know gravel roads even existed any more. Can't remember where I eventually hit civilization ... I think it was near the Shell station on 182.
Everyone have a plan tomorrow. Leaving will start in the middle of the 3rd qtr.
60,000 leaving a stadium that took 4 hours to fill will have its frustrations.
Next week especially.

It's so bad, if you're going to the Alabama game next weekend you should have already left the stadium heading back to your car.
This worked beautifully, got there early enough to pick our spot, shuttle bus to ourselves, got great view on Dawg walk, drumline and band marching in. Game was too close for comfort but afterwards got out as easily as we got in. Tl:dr thanks for the tip!
I hope you enjoyed your trip to campus
It amazes me how much the campus and the city of Starkville has changed in the last 10-20 years. And by the looks of it, it is showing no signs of slowing down. I think the Golden Triangle region can become a very attractive region in terms of Econ Development. There are a number of new residential developments just off main and on the edges of the Cotton District. The food options in town also continue to expand.
For someone that has not been on campus in a long while, it may not look like the same place. There are new buildings everywhere and first class honor dorms by the 82 entrance of campus. I'm proud of what our campus has become. And I'm not necessarily taking athletic facilities either (though they have also improved immensely).
I hope y'all enjoyed your trip and you have a chance to make it back for a more festive football atmosphere. Davis Wade Is electric these days when the timing is right.
