I have come to the conclusion that the traffic management plan at KSU is the same no matter if it's a Saturday Homecoming Game or a November, Wednesday night game. Must be nice to have a job not requiring any initiative

Aside from widening Summit, what are the options? Summit is along wetland an private property. Good luck with that red tape. Personally, I'm beyond thrilled we have this problem.
[/With Coach Lewis' salary I am more concern about a Power 5 school offering a OC position with a significant pay raise.

I’m happy to see a relatively big crowd too. But I’m going to guess that sitting in an hour-long line of traffic to watch MAC football is enough to make a lot of people choose to stay home. One entrance open on the east side. The west lot wasn’t even full and yet they had it gated off. A few students trying to collect money and park cars. How much more amateur can you get?

Have you ever been to Downtown Canton for the HOF? Many colleges bus fans in from remote locations, which Kent is offering.
The road needs to stay open for through traffic and locals as well. Plan ahead and arrive early. Any football fan knows this.
As much as I'd like to say this is going to be a problem we need to deal with year-in and year-out, and the university needs to front a ton of money for something like a parking garage, it's not going to be around forever. The cycle of MAC success has peaks and valleys. Fans will go back to watching OSU in a few years.

Shuttle buses are a good idea. I've done that. But as I said earlier, I don't think there will be much of a problem after the Akron game.
