Any other recommendations?
Here's a map of the parking lots

Assuming you have a car, all donor parking lots will open at 7am Saturday. All General Public lots will open at 1pm.
If you have an RV pass you can park in the designated RV lots and Vet med lot beginning on Friday.
G2/G3 is the rowdy student tailgating lot. (those lots will probably open early since the line to get in will be really long)
Bring a lot of beer.

Thanks for the information guys! I have a couple friends coming...Chris and Brad. These two and their wives are not much for college football fans. Would there be a good bar you guys would recommend for them during the game, as they are not going to the game?

You tell Chris and Brad and their wives to just keep on tailgating throughout the game.
Bring a grill, lots of food and drinks, some games, set up a TV and just keep that partying going.

How bad will the traffic be trying to get to the stadium around 1? I'll be coming from the brick city grill area

Not bad at all. These night games really spread people out on arrival times. The only congested area might be by all of the grass lots on S 16th st. but still nothing horrible.
