The Patriot-News and Penn Live are tracking the potential for travel troubles: Travel woes a concern for fans headed to Beaver Stadium on Saturday
Travelers are also encouraged to check in advance regarding the availability of hotels or other rentals. One Alabama fan from Tuscumbia said his travel thus far has been "pretty much a disaster." He learned that his he would be unable to stay at The Comfort Inn on South Front Street in Harrisburg and that a subsequent rental was also unavailable because of the floods.
The Patriot-News and PennLive report:
For motorists traveling to Penn State, road conditions are not good. Check www.511pa.com or call 511 from any line for real-time updates.
Should 322 remain closed, there are alternate routes for fans to consider.
- If Route 11/15 is open through Perry County, motorists can take it to Route 104 to Route 45 to Route 322. Should 104 be shut down, you can travel 11/15 and pick up 45 in Lewisburg just past Bucknell's campus.
- Another option is to take the Pennsylvania Turnpike to the Breezewood exit and follow Interstate 99 through Altoona to the exits for Beaver Stadium.
- Interstate 99 is also accessible by taking Route 68 in the northern portions of Maryland.
- From Harrisburg, it's possible to take Interstate 78 to Interstate 80 and come into State College through Bellefonte.
- Penn State has announced limited parking options. Yellow lots 11, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 will be available for cars only on a first-come, first-served basis. When full, alternate accommodations will be made. Yellow Lot 12 and the Brown Lot will be closed. Yellow Lot 9 has limited availability on the paved portions. Brown passes will be honored in the Orange Lots.
