But I ran into a problem trying to lock my bike up at the NW corner bike rack. It seems they decided to turn that into a smoking area and put a temporary fence around the bike rack. The only access to the bike rack is from inside the gate. I asked the security guard how I was supposed to get my bike to the bike rack and he told me I had to bring it through the gate. When I went to the gate they told me I couldn’t bring my bike in. After some back and forth they admitted they weren’t told what to do about getting bikes to the bike rack so they let us in and escorted us with our bikes to the bike rack. I then proceeded to lock up the bikes among a few people wafting their cigarette smoke around. Not sure what they are going to do this Saturday but if it is still a smoking area I’m going to choose a different bike rack.

BTW, for those complaining about bathrooms, if you don’t mind walking over to the NEZ the porta potties over there are practically unused. I usually walk all around the stadium at half time and it seems like there are other small bathrooms tucked away in corners that are underutilized. And as for water, my friend brought in unopened bottles in his clear bag with no problem. He stuck them in the freezer beforehand so they would stay cold longer. Just don’t leave them in there too long or they could burst. I might try that this Saturday.

We ride our bikes as well. We normally just lock our bike the the fence at the park on the other side of bluestone.

Thanks for the suggestion. We used to lock them up to a light pole just outside the old west entrance which is now gone. There is another bike rack just south of the main west entrance.
