OK, got a ticket but no parking pass.
Can you pay to park near the stadium? With only 25% capacity, won't there be plenty of parking?
Thanx!

I know a guy off S. 29th who will let you park in his yard for $15

BBF members were emailed parking passes last week. If you didn't get one, I would check with BBF to see if you are eligible..

There are so few fans allowed, lot 4 might be a cash lot. I would check with the ticket office.

Anywhere you want. No one at the game so should be lots of nice options to pick from on Saturday!

I called them about this last week for the Kansas game. The stadium lot slots went to season ticket holders. I told th em with the limited fans no way it would be full but no luck. They said Ferrell Center lot would be cash or for $20 bucks I could get a pass at the law school. I did that.

I don't see how all of the lots could be full with 25% capacity, but it is what it is.
Will show up Saturday and check it out.
Then see you at the game.

PS If anyone gets a heads up on what the parking situation will be on Saturday, please post it here.
I do not have a parking pass, but I'm driving to Waco.
If I can be forewarned of what I'm driving into, it would be nice.
Otherwise I'll figure it out as I go along.

With a 5.5 hour drive from the ranch, I'll have plenty of time to think about it.

Take it easy going through Eldorado. Schleicher County Sheriff is usually at the ready.

They got me coming back from the Fiesta Bowl. Then made sure that I was careful driving because there were 8.5 million deer on the road. Took me 5 hours to go the next 180 miles.

Don't tell anyone, but I usually drive about 100 mph between El Dorado and Iraan whenever I head to or from Waco.
(But I do it in a Christian manner.)

I just got off the phone with Baylor Athletics and they have free parking at the Ferrell Center. It is a bit of a walk, though.

I was doing 105 through there a couple of years ago. Sheriff popped out of the weeds and lite me up.
When he came to the pax. door he said "I have been waiting for you all day" I told him "Well sir I got here as fast as I could" He gave me a quizzical look, smiled and laughed and let me go with a warning.

There have always been shuttle buses between the Ferrell Center and the dropoff at the walk to the bridge. Don't know if they plan to have them this year. It's a long but nice walk along the river from the Ferrell to the bridge.

I received an email last tuesday with my parking pass. I'm in Lot 2, and I'm supposed to put it on my dashboard.

As far as I know, the parking pass is for La Tech, and I just use it for Coog High.

No shuttles. Social distancing does not work on a bus. My guess is that is why the parking there is free. It's usually expensive.

Baylor has made it clear that all tickets and parking passes for the La Tech game will now apply for the Houston game. They will not even bother to issue new ones even if they are digital. I guess it would be too much of a hassle, especially considering how quickly everything is going.

I used to park behind the dry cleaners next to scruffs.

Made for an easy get away in case the cops were in the lot checking people as they left, and also is a good spot if your newly found scruff muff can't wait until you get home.

It's a good for any night, not just saturdays.

They typically hang out a few miles out of Iraan, or about five miles west of El Dorado.
Once you are "in between" you don't USUALLY see them.

I also have a radar detector, but please don't tell anyone!!!
As my daddy always told me, "It's not far if you drive fast."

Just got a parking pass, so my headaches are over.
Thanks to everyone who helped out.
Heading to Waco tomorrow so I'll be there for the 11 am kickoff.
Is George's still open? (Not the tent, the real place)

Thee,
I was almost to El Dorado.
(Had to stop for this pipeline crew to get their gear across Hwy 190)


No cell service between Iraan and El Dorado (over 70 miles)


When I got cell service, my phone lit up. Everyone I knew was telling me the game was cancelled.
Turned around and headed back to the ranch.
Had to stop at the Pecos River near Iraan because they are repairing the bridge.


I drove for four hours and wound up where I started!!!

Made a margarita and sat on the front porch, contemplating a lost weekend.
Oh, well.

Maybe next time????
