4 Section/Location: Lot 4 to Lodge Time: 4:45PM
Question
Departing Lot 4 flowed well. We decided to take back side streets to get to the Lodge. It took us approximately 1 hour to get back to the Waterford area.

1 Section/Location: Ford Field Deck/Lot 6 Time: 10:40AM
The line to park wasn't too long, traffic was heavy but moved quickly. (see picture) Pulled up to the Ford Field deck, we were offered a choice to park inside or out.
We chose outside because we wanted to tailgate a bit. We pulled in and chatted with some other people who were visiting from Cleveland. This was their first time
to Ford Field. Mike was impressed with the Stadium and how organized it appeared. He made a comment about the amount of security. It was cloudy and
beginning to rain, so he was disappointed that more people were not in the lot outside.
2 Section/Location: Montcalm Street Time: 10:43AM
Traffic on Montcalm was crowded but controlled. There were a lot of people walking around the stadium, especially near Montcalm and Brush, yet it was very
organized. Traffic moved steadily. We passed a few different parking areas on the way to lot 6. I was happy with the speed we progressed. The only delay were the
car searches, but no one appeared upset about it.
3 Section/Location: Exiting Lot 6 to Freeway Time: 5:04PM
Leaving the stadium was not an easy feat. I needed to go south, but traffic was blocked off and I was forced to go north. Cones blocked the road, so there was no
option as to where you were going. Once you left the stadium area, there were no directions as to which way to go. I ended up behind Eastern Market near Gratiot.
Traffic was intermittently stopped and I am assuming that it was because people were trying to get their bearings as to which way to go. I am familiar with the area,
but still had trouble because of blocked roads and construction.

1 Section/Location: Lions/Tigers Garage Time: 10:50AM
The parking pass and the website called it the Lions/Tigers Garage, but that is not what it is labeled. There were a lot of car lines and at first I was uncertain if we
were going into the correct garage. One of the Security people did confirm it was the correct one when asked.
2 Section/Location: Garage 3rd Level Time: 10:54AM
When we entered the garage, the attendant told us to proceed to the 3rd Level and that we could park in the reserved parking. But, when we got to the 3rd level, all
the reserved spots had specific company names on them and we were too nervous to park in them.
