I'm used to getting there around 8:15 and being one of the first 25 or so cars in line for picnic parking off of Stadium Drive/Lot 6.

I usually do this - follow the yellow line:

Just a note, I meant to say they aren't going to stop you if you pull over the curb.

Anyway, I forgot that you will come in from the north. Probably easier for you to come in gate 6 and go all the way down to that last lot N entrance. I'm not sure if they do the cone thing to guide cars over there or not. If not, just ignore any parking people and drive along the edge of the lot until you see us across the way.

Well, we're staying in the city this time, so we'll be coming from the west.

What's traffic like on the Gate 5 side?

I'm not sure I can tell you what it is compared to what you're used to. We typically get there at about 7:15, and we average being about 5th in line. I drove up for the Bills game this year, and, when we arrived at 8:30, the line was all the way back to Raytown road and up a little ways towards Gate 4.

Guess I'll talk to Tiny and see what he wants to do.

We came in from the west for the Titans game. Got off I-70 at Manchester Trafficway and went in Gate 6, IIRC. Got in pretty quickly considering that it was about 10am when we arrived at the stadium. I think the bitter cold weather was the reason for that. But they did have cones and guided us in Lot N. Will be parking there once again.

So they basically told you where to park once in the lot, or were you free to take any available spot?

The early bird gets the good spot?

Wish I could help you.

What we do is come in Gate 5, go left, drive up over the median, have someone get out to move a cone, drive far enough onto the lot to turn around and drive back onto the median facing the road (makes for easy exit). To do that on the Lot F side, you have to be there early.

Actually, you might talk to guru. I believe him and dedicatedfan (who parks next to us) come in Gate 6, and I think they get there much closer to 8:30 than we do. They might be able to tell you more about entering from that side.

We were free to take any spot once in the lot.

We always go in Gate 6, and there is very rarely a backup. However, all bets are off with it being a playoff game.

Gate 6 the way I go, or Gate 6 from the West?

I assume you loop around and come in off of Stadium Drive? That's the way I was meaning.

Are you going north or south on 435 as you head towards the stadiums?

Go up the hill to stadium drive and take a right, follow road from there. Its the 1st gate you come in. Park in N for all games. You can park wherever you want.

Provided you are coming from the south.
