parking at slappy valley
- Thread starter pittsrico
- Start date
I would suggest the Yoder farm unless it is cow cleaning day.....in that case try the Beiler farm as they only do furniture
$40/car on game day....only $10 if you actually plan ahead and buy them before. But all parking at stadium is already sold out so too late. My suggestion would be to park for free at the shopping plaza on 322 east of the town and take the bus to the game. ($5/person each way) They drop you off at the Brice Jordan Center a block form the stadium. Only down side is the bus only runs for an hour after the game to get back to your vehicle.

Travel to parking lots is now zoned (i.e., ingress is only along designated routes depending upon your parking lot) and there are only two to three lots available for non-pre-paid parking ($60 cash; not seeing anything cheaper on StubHub as of right now!). You could have bought pre-paid parking for the game up until last week or so, but understandable that visiting fans would not know to do this. See link below for other options. I would imagine that you should be fine leaving at 6 a.m. for any of the options.

You can park on the outskirts and take the local Uber service.
Outskirts? 10 feet off campus is farmland!

Parking is now $60 cash on gameday.
There are actually two different company shuttles on game day. The CATA shuttle is $2 per per way and drops you off at the Bryce Jordan Center. They have one that leaves from the Hill Plaza that you reference and another one that runs through town including the parking garages.

This is what I recommend for any Panther fans traveling in. If you are coming from Pittsburgh, use the Fullington shuttle and park at stop 3 or 4. Toftrees (Stop 4) is probably the easiest in terms of access off I-99 (just a few quick turns off Toftrees Woodycrest exit), plus it is one less stop on the shuttle.
JD, I'm considering parking at the Walmart super center and walking... any thoughts... what is the policy for open containers..

There are 2 Walmarts so make sure you park at the one on North Atherton Street (not the one called "Benner Pike Walmart"). It's about a 2 mile walk. There's actually a trail that goes through the woods that locals know that could probably knock off some distance. Check your Google Maps app as there are a number of trails that show up. But if you just walk the side walk all the way from North Atherton to Park Avenue it's going to take a good 45 minutes or so.
As for open container, technically they are prohibited by Patton Township and Borough of State College, both of which you will be in as you walk to the stadium. Once you get to tailgating lots, they are allowed as long as they are aluminum (that's what the policy says, but it's not like you are going to get busted for drinking out of a glass bottle). All that said, you aren't going to get stopped by anyone or have any trouble.
