Overnight RV parking

[TMFT]

Happy spring ball everybody.

I’m an Indiana guy and my 10 yr old and I will be starting our third season of going to every home & away Hoosiers game this fall.

I like to plan early and I’m trying to get a handle on the RV parking situation in Iowa City.

Anyone have any intel on how they do overnight RV parking?

Thanks!

That’s just awesome and that reminds me of my dad taking me under his wings as a youngster and I would listen to WMT and WHO in our car back in the 80’s because living in New Jersey we would have to park the car on another street to get reception to listen to the Iowa games… somehow he always managed to get the games tuned in but with awful reception.. always kept us guessing as Jim Zabel was announcing back then and sometimes it would go out and we would be wondering if Iowa scored or not … it was brutal but we built such a bond and that’s how I ended up an Iowa fan and graduating from the UofI with a little brainwash from my dad… it was well worth it and man do I miss listening to the games with him and all the call in radio shows! Your son will thank you on the end … Go Hawks!

Never over night parked at a game before but this is what I found searching don’t know if it’s true hopefully someone who has experience can verify?

“For overnight parking before Iowa Hawkeye football games, RVs are allowed in designated lots (52, 73, and 75S) from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the night before games, with departure by 9:00 a.m. the following day.”

Shouldn't that read "with departure by 9 a.m. the following day after the game"?

Awesome story! Your dad is a good guy!

They might change things a bit heading into the fall with more parking construction going on around campus, but it seems like the Finkbine Golf Course driving range or the softball parking lot would be the best options for folks without season parking passes.

This should help. https://hawkeyesports.com/footballparking

Looks like there is no overnight allowed for single-game RV parking. Only donor/season RV pass high-rollers can do that.

The secondary market may be an option for purchasing just one game in one of the reserved RV lots. But that would only be if donor RV permits are structured so that they can be split up and sold on a game-by-game basis. If it's just one single physical pass that covers the holder for the entire season, then that probably won't be possible.

Season-long RV parking passes are available for the Finkbine Golf Course Lot (hard surface only), Lower Finkbine Lot, and Softball Lot for a fee of $500. A prepaid public RV parking pass (GP-RV) will be valid for any of these three lots. Note: RV parking for public lots is only for the day of the game, no overnight parking before or after the game.

Yea I’d assume that’s how I read it but I copy and pasted it from the search result so anyone’s guess is as good as mine

Thank you all!

There are RVs parked at Hancher night before as well, no idea what type of pass you have to have.

Just pull in someone's driveway and park it.

There is a Wal Mart due south of Kinnick about a mile or so along Highway 1. Don't they let people set up shop if they desire?

And I hate them all
