Tailgate Lots on Gamedays?
Ok, i see some conflicting information on the NIU Football gameday site and the HAF parking site. My understanding is ALL lots are open 5 hours prior to kickoff.

But are general lots $10 or $15?

NIU Gameday Site says $10 for general parking lots.

HAF Parking Site says $15 for general parking lots.

Plus some of the color-coded donor lots are different colors on both sites. For example, the old theater lot just southeast of the stadium is yellow on the HAF parking site but its green on the NIU Gameday site.

I don't know about cost of parking in general admission lots, but the old movie theater lot is a donor lot & has been for 2 or 3 years now. It is referred to as Lot K. No general admission parking there.

I have a parking pass for Lot K. It's a great location (right next to the east side of the stadium) and it's easy to access and depart. I have had no problems exiting, especially since it sits next to Lincoln Highway.

The game day site has older info. The whole site in general needs a good scrubbing of old info.

we used to park there for years before it was a donor lot. It was a very nice location & not nearly as windy as the convo lot is.
We never left at the same time as the big crowds. Always stay to see the band do the post game so I can't say how hard it is to leave when the traffic is bad.

For those that park in Stevenson, is it best to enter from Glidden or Lincoln Hwy? Is it grass or paved? Any other info is appreciated.

Lincoln Highway is best. Turn right at the corner where the NIU buses and cars are stored . That is prior to the convo entrance. Follow the road next to the soccer field and it will lead you directly to the Stevenson lot.

If your pass is yellow you are in a paved lot.
If your pass is green then you are in the grass Stevenson lot.
