Anyone making the trip to Lexington?? I just bought my tickets last week. My understanding is that parking is by pass only and is very limited. I don't know what this means for visiting fans who want to tailgate. Does anybody know??

GO OWLS!!!

I bought my tickets last month. Still haven't gotten them. I called Friday to see when they would be sent. A young girl who did not speak english too well told me they would be sent out in the middle of Sept. I didn't realize parking would be a concern so I better call again Monday.

I checked the UK athletics website and it had lots of info about parking. It suggested that people take a shuttle from downtown to the stadium because stadium parking is limited. We might find something very different when we get there.

How did you order your tickets, by phone or thru the fau link to ticketmaster??

GO OWLS!!!

I purchased from FAU. 1-866-FAU Owls. The girl I dealt with said they prefered that people purchase from the university. I looked at the ticket master site and had too many questions after looking at it.

I will be staying overnight Fri to Sat. and driving back after the game. Map quest estimates the drive time at about 6 hours from Decatur. I'm looking foward to it and for some unknown reason so is my wife. I'm looking foward to meeting some alumni. The last time I met any was at the ISU game in Bloomington and prior to that the EIU game in Charleston. You may have been still attending FAU when those games were up here. I met Armond Grossman at the EIU game and talked to him for quite a while at halftime.

I might make the trip up, well have to see how work is going, it's been killing lately - working way to many hours.

I've heard that most hotel in the area do offer shuttles to the game.

I was told there would be a reception tent for alumni. I don't know what that means for tailgating. I hope my wife and I can participate in some with other alumn.

I am driving from So. Illinois and I will be staying Friday and Saturday. I was hoping to get some tailgating in. Heck, we might have to see who all is going and try to plan some sort of tailgate once we get there and get an idea of the lay of the land. If not, the alumni tent sounds like a good option.

GO OWLS!!!

Illi guys, if you are unsure about the parking situation go to the Alumni tent, they have a reception area set up, it'll cost about 20 bucks and you get all the food and drinks you can consume. Pat Breman and Lee Collier are the ladies that run the show for that so look for them. And don't forget to join the National Alumni Association while you're there!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I think the Alumni tent will be the place to go as well as checking out some of the UK tailgating.

I just received an e-mail today that my tickets will be sent out this week. Any idea on your hotel plans or the plans of any other FAU fans??
