As for tailgating, ND is tough place for underage drinking.

What I am asking is as an "out of towner" where can we go and park and tail gate befor the game i know the main lots are all under parking permits.

If you google map the intersection of ivy rd and bulla rd you will see that there is like a square couple of blocks between douglas, ivy, dunn, and ironwood. If you get off at the mishawaka exit of 80/90 instead of the south bend exit its really easy to get to this area where you can just park in people's lawns and they charge anywhere from $10-30. Its really easy to find a spot in there, the closer you drive towards ivy the more expensive the spots. Im from south bend and whenever i go to the games i park there and then just walk to tailgates. Its usually a convenient spot to get out of also.

Ivy Road is always full of parking (peoples yards) We generally go out off of Juniper. They used to have shuttles but not sure anymore.Tailgating takes place everywhere but the main parking lot is the most fun.

Heres a map. It's a few years old cause Juniper no longer runs through campus. I've pointed out different things you've asked about in different threads. Hope it helps.

Best lot got built on 2 yrs ago, new best spot IMO is across the street from ND. There are two pieces of property side by side, one has a white house on it. Its near the school entrance between the soccer pitch and baseball diamond. About a 2 minute walk from the Linebacker bar. Enjoy!!! We always have.
