Any Adrian fans that could give me a little information on the tailgating environment at Adrian College. I am in charge of our Tailgates for Franklin College and we are looking at making the road trip for this weekend. Thanks!
The lot connected to the stadium is for reserved parking and season ticket holders, so that fills up. Not sure if this will apply for a playoff game, Id imagine it wont, as the parking passes are valid for the 5 game home schedule, as are the season tickets. Tickets for this game are extra cost, of course. Id imagine, but am not sure that the main lot might simply be first come first serve, with the parking fee they are sure to charge. The lot across the street is an open lot, which also carries a charge but is a first come first serve, things tend to fill up fairly quick on game day and I believe there is a hockey day scheduled for the same day (yikes). As for the environment, its pretty hands off, people are allowed to have fun as long as they arent creating issues. I dont know if t he NCAA presence will change this or if it will remain the same, but the College itself is very open and accepting of tailgating.
Outisde those two main lots, there is another lot slightly down the street (the college bought the lot of an old apartment complex that burned down) and I know in the past they have offered parking across from the Library (about a block away). The lot by the ball fields is a bit of a hike, its on t he back 40 as we refer to it, but they do offer shuttle service from that lot to the field for those that park there.

For further reference, consult this map.
You can clearly see the parking lot next to the stadium and across the street, those are the main two. There is also a parking lot located at the intersection of Charles and Williams (this is where the old apartments were) and in the past there is parking located in the quad area about half way down Williams street. You can see where the ball fields are in relation to the stadium and there is parking out there. All residential streets are two way parking and open as well, with the exception of Michigan ave which only has parking on one side, but that is often lifted on big game days etc.
Edit: That image is far smaller than it should be just click on it and it should enlarge.
