While the surface lots and grass lots in and around the IU Athletics complex are no longer available, fans can still consider one of the possibilities listed below.
In addition, due to lane restrictions on the 45/46 bypass near the I-69 interchange, fans are advised to arrive early on Saturday to avoid traffic challenges and delays in getting to the game.

GETTING TO THE GAME
The Indiana Department of Transportation ("INDOT") has advised that Bloomington's 45/46 bypass will be open for fans coming from all directions for Saturday's game, but it will be down to a single lane in each direction in the area around the I-69 interchange.
Following the game, both the northbound and southbound I-69 ramps off the 45/46 bypass will be closed. Fans headed north after the game are advised to use the northbound Walnut Street exit off 45/46 to access I-69. Fans who need to access I-69 South are advised to take College Avenue south off the 45/46 bypass. They can then take either 3rd Street or 2nd Street west to access I-69.
Because the impact of these projects is constantly evolving and changing, INDOT advises that fans should utilize the following tools:
Waze App
Waze, a community based traffic and navigation app, will be used to communicate traffic patterns in real time. Fans are strongly encouraged to download it and utilize it during their trip to Memorial Stadium. The app will automatically update the football pre and postgame traffic pattern as they go into effect. Download it here.
INDOT TrafficWise
TrafficWise can be found on INDOT's website and provides information about traffic conditions, road closures, traffic cameras, travel times and message boards. Fans can also call 1-800-261-7623 for updates. Current Restrictions/Closings.
Text Updates
Fans can opt in to the text alert system by texting IUFB to 313131 to begin receiving alerts from IU Athletics. Only pertinent information surrounding travel, traffic, weather and emergency situations will be shared on the text system.
