Getting out
- Ride Cat Tran back. It loads south of the stadium outside Gate 7 on 6th Street and runs until an hour after the game. Buses leave when full.
- Pack up on the Mall. You have an hour after the game to clear the grounds. Use it and let the streets thin.
- Take the streetcar. Sun Link serves campus, so park along the line and ride in and out.
Skip this: Rush the garage at the final whistle. Every other car on campus has the same idea.
