Getting There
Most fans drive to Jack Trice Stadium, and parking is straightforward but fills quickly. University-controlled lots surround the stadium with prices typically ranging from $25 to $40 on game day, while private lots and residential yards offer cheaper alternatives.
🅿️
Parking
CyRide, the Ames public bus system, runs enhanced game day routes that are free and efficient from various campus and city stops. Rideshare works but expect surge pricing and pickup congestion post-game.
🚌
Public Transit
If you're coming from Des Moines, the 35-mile drive north on I-35 is easy, though traffic on University Boulevard backs up significantly after the final whistle.
⚡
PRO TIP
Park in the free lots north of campus near Campustown and take CyRide's game day shuttle directly to the stadium gates.
