Since this thread's getting quite a bit more activity again, I'm asking again.
Any tips on parking the RV lot near Juniper & Pendle? From my research, I'm assuming that's about the only place you can park an RV. I believe it opens up at 8am and you can't buy a parking pass in advance. I just imagine a free for all traffic jam of RVs.
Yeah, as far as I know, you've got it right. The RV lot used to be much closer to the stadium and it was way better, but you'll still get a really nice tailgating atmosphere out there.
Only tip I'd give you is don't let yourself get trapped out there by staying at the tailgate too long, especially if you plan on taking the shuttles into the stadium. In fact, I'd avoid the shuttles and just walk if you feel up to a stroll. It's far, maybe a mile, but it's kind of nice to walk through campus and get some of the game-day atmosphere.
One of my favorite things to do when I parked out there used to be to save a little room in my stomach, pack a road soda for the walk and stop at the Knights of Columbus "tailgate" at the Sacred Heart Parish Center by the lake on the way to the stadium. Awesome steak sandwiches. Don't know if they still do that or not; it's been a few years since I parked north of the stadium. You'll probably have plenty of good food, but it might be worth asking about. (This plan made more sense when I was a broke kid who didn't have enough up-front money to get both both beer and food for the tailgate ... under those circumstances, we cut out the food).
