We’re going to the 4pm cal game this coming Saturday to watch a family member who plays for Oregon state. Any tips for best parking options and efficiency of getting in and out of the congestion zone?
last time we played we parked a bit away from stadium but there was a game shuttle. You might look into the shuttle; probably a link on their page. Check here:
When we went to the Cal vs. Davis game about year and a half ago, there were a bunch of private lots on that shuttle route. But, traffic getting in to town was a bit of a mess.
We've parked at Emerson Elementary in Berkeley for games. Funds go to their PTA and they have an attendant to watch over the cars. It's about a 15 minute walk to the stadium. It's worked out well for us in the past.
My father was a Cal alum and we never got to the games before kickoff for want of a parking spot anywhere close to Memorial Stadium. He always tried to find street parking in Berkeley to save a buck or two. But that was in the 50s and 60s. I'm sure it's better now and a lot more expensive.
