Ya Digg? Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 If/when you go to a game this year, plan for some extra time in your car. We planned on arriving around 9:15-9:30 and it took us awhile to really get anywhere down Abbott road 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We planned on arriving around 9:15-9:30 and it took us awhile to really get anywhere down Abbott road We left at 7:30 from Rochester. Normally try to leave at 830ish. Traffic usually starts backing up on 20A right past the 219. Today it was backed up into the village of OP. Took over an hour to get to lot 1 from there. The good thing was that the lot was still over half empty when we got in there. No clue where all those people parked. And I didn't realize the Bills took over the mud lot. Not sure if they owned the property before this year, but the whole lot has been redone in crushed stone. I think it may be for the employees.

To me it actually seemed like a lot of people just assumed the stadium parking lot would be full because of all the traffic, because when we walked in there were definitely still spots left. It was really slow sledding getting close to the stadium though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are only sold for multiple game packages. I don’t believe they are sold for single games…I also could be completely wrong but yes, no cash anywhere at the stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they close them early and move staff to last open lots. Overpriced and not worth it. Too many better options IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBF81 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Anyone park on the far side of ECC? If so, how was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, we got there around 10 and the lot was still half empty. They did have signs up for $40 parking, credit card only. I pay for season parking passes and it comes out to less than $40 per game. Definitely worth it seeing how most of the closer private lots are starting to price gouge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same parking is open, but traffic was worse in general getting to the lot. Even for a home opener, heavier traffic. The main thing is the walk to the stadium. Because of construction, you can no longer walk the "grass"/straight path. You have to walk right through lot 3, then back to the left...adds a decent amount of extra walking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Came down Milestrip to Abbott to Southwestern to Lot 7 waiting line. Pulled into line about 8:15, no problems at all. Usual opener traffic. The home opener is always nuts for traffic. Let’s up a little as the season goes, especially as it gets colder. Side lots allow fans to park and party, which I believe is part of the mess. Fans that are not even going to the game, but want to experience the atmosphere.

HOUSE Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 5 years ago I warned you guys about building a new stadium, did anyone listen.......Nooooooo Now you can't even get to the old stadium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 11 hours ago, Virgil said: How was parking with all the new construction? Overloaded coming into parking, and delayed leaving. The lot we went to was overloaded and so were others. It’s just a necessary reality. We only fly up for one game from Tampa, but it was well worth it. What a nice weekend as one of my sisters threw a big family party Saturday, and of course the game on Sunday. The house was rocking. We tried to leave when we went to 38 pts,, but so did 40,000 of the 73,000 people that were there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenhigh Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I parked across the street from lot one, coming from the south side. I got in really fast, arrived at 8:45. Not sure why but this was the easiest parking for an opener I've seen in 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
