Has anyone ever set up an RV tailgate at Kinnick? The info I gather from their website is that they have public RV parking, but they don't allow you to show up until day of so probably a cluster.

We have taken a motor home a couple of times and parked in the lot across the street from Walgreens and stayed overnight. It was the afternoon/evening before the game and there wasn't anyone at the lot entrace.

Assuming that is the one by the Softball fields?
Thanks for the info!

Parked there Circa 2001? JJs return game. Only game I've attended there. We were close to the stadium. Arrived Friday night to calm surroundings. Woke up Saturday morning with cars parked 4 feet away as far as you could see. Generator running and shades pulled. Didn't hear a thing. Start drinking! So much fun. But won't go back.

It's been a long time since I've gone to a game there but they allowed overnight RV parking in the Finkbine lot last time we went. Did they change that over the years?

Stay home and tailgate in your driveway. Hanging out in IC is a colossal waste of a weekend.
We are going back and forth. Have never been and have a good feeling that we will be able to celebrate a win there this year.

We are still going back and forth. We'll see. Thanks for the info!

Win or lose bring a helmet for the long ass walk back to the RV. Once the gremlins get good and lubricated anything near them turns into a projectile, if you are wearing anything cyclone.

Changed our plans. Decided trying to navigate IC is not something we want to do.

So....camping near Saylorville to enjoy the weekend and thought we would go to a sportsbar in Ankeny for the game. Anyone know of a Cyclone heavy establishment there?

You can go the the Marina bar and it will be on. I usually watch on my houseboat as we tie our boat up with others. Unfortunately, most of that crowd are loud mouth tavern-hawks. We really need to win this one!!

Good decision. That's all I got.
