Default Need some parking tips for football game

My father and I have season tickets for the Eagles. Any tips for taking the bikes to the game.

yeah, I wouldn't... imo.

Too many chances for things to go bad - take the car.

I go to every home game and would take my bike if it weren't for the numerous cases of beer and food I take with me. I don't think anyone would mess with your bikes unless they have a big "blue star" on them. Traffic is always a nightmare so if you take the bikes leave a little early or wait out the jam. We usually fire the grill back up and eat after the game so by the time we are done traffic is much better.

Go Birds...

No way in hell would I take my bike to a football game!! Too many drunk idiots. Some drunk a$$holes could go by it and decide to knock it over just for kicks, or they try sitting on it and drop it. When trying to leave you could get creamed by some drunk driver. No thanks, I say leave them at home...

Parking at a football game is safer than a motel lot where thieves prey. I've done it many times.

Park close to a handicap spot, or look for an end spot where the bike isn't likely to get hit. You'll often see other bikes. This is usually a safe area.

Have you ever been in the parking lot at an Eagles game before?

I'll say this much - I wouldn't try it at a broncos game. Hell, I won't do it for a CU game!!!
