Want to get there early but also don’t want to be standing around cooking in the sun while I wait to Be let in. Last I recall they would let you in two hours before kickoff, that still a thing ?
9am
I miss getting plastered early in the a.m. at the old Lucky Strike Bar (now the southwest foot of the bridge near Tobacco Road) before heading to OB. Or parking a couple of hours early, in a pre-deranged spot in someone’s backyard near the stadium. Then tippin’ over to the Bowl Bar for the ambience, before staggering across the rocky lots and fields and into my seat minutes before kickoff.
Parking lots open at 9. Gates to the stadium open at 11.
I have season tickets. I normally get to lot 13 for 9 am and there’s already a few rows set up and cooking by then. You can get into the stadium at 11.
