With a 1:30 pm kick off time there won't be any conflict with crowds in terms of starting Startup School at 9am. I would, however, suggest a late lunch (at or after 1:30pm) to avoid fans and long lines at the local restaurants. The biggest problems will probably be at the end given that the game will probably end around 4:30 pm and it's generally a couple of hours before the crowds in/around campus and traffic out of Berkeley start to die down.
I'd recommend people park outside of Berkeley and BART (www.bart.gov) in.
Other notes:
- parking fines are doubled on game days
- many parking lots that are normally public lots on weekends are more expensive and/or reserved specifically for fans with season parking passes
- many streets that normally allow street parking don't allow parking on game days.
Finally - Go Bears!
- dwynings 17y agoDefinitely take Bart in if you can. Almost all of the UC Berkeley parking garages/ lots are reserved, and the street parking is either limited or metered. The only other option is to pay the $40-$60 fee some people charge to park in their driveway.
- dwynings 17y agoThe other option would be to park further away if you can't find parking and take the bus in. Parking along University, you can take the 52L. http://www.actransit.org/maps/schedule_results.php?version_id=11&quick_line=52l&Go=Go&maps_line=52l¤t_schedule=5734 http://www.actransit.org/maps/schedule_results.php?version_i... Or on Telegraph, take the 1. http://www.actransit.org/maps/schedule_results.php?version_id=11&quick_line=1&Go=Go&maps_line=1¤t_schedule=5649 http://www.actransit.org/maps/schedule_results.php?version_i...
- nkassis 17y agoIf it's televised I would make it a 4 hour game. 9am isn't too early for tailgating ;p Good luck folks.
- jadence 17y agoIt's not televised. I believe that ends a streak of 38 televised games (home and away) for Cal football and the first home game not televised since 2005.
- kobs 17y agoThis is good advice. The Berkeley BART station is a relatively short walk from the campus.
- trekker7 17y agoAlso if you take the University Ave. exit off of 80 east, take Hearst to campus instead of University. It's one block to the north.
