Have lived away from Iowa the last 15 years. Have moved back and attending first basketball game in 15 years this Friday vs UNI. Any advice on parking? Thanks.
To be close, be at least 1 hour prior to game. Parking should be available west of the baseball stadium or to the east to the east the lot north of Kinnick
We've always parked in the lot West of Kinnick (free). It's a short walk past the football facility and baseball field, but not terrible. It may be a little more full than normal as that lot is the day-to-day parking for UIHC employees. I'm hoping many of them have cleared out by 5:00 on the last Friday before Christmas....
Finkbine lot is the no frills parking lot as there're always spots available so you don't have to drive around the lot 5 times trying to find a spot to park. So, you know exactly how much time it will take for you to park and walk to the arena.
Better be careful. During the Iowa State game they decided to ticket about 80 cars who were incorrectly parked. That is the first time in the eight seasons that I've been going that they did that. Must be a quota system now.
I usually get to the lot west of Kinnick almost an hour before the game, drive through without finding a spot, then drive to University Heights and find a legal space on Leamer Court. Fifteen minute walk, ¾ of a mile.
