The Iowa State Cyclones' season opener against Tulsa Iowa will pack Jack Trice Stadium and surrounding parking lots this Labor Day Weekend.

As many as 55,000 people could watch from a stadium or hillside seat.

While the stadium will open 90 minutes before kickoff, people are encouraged to come much earlier. Parking lots open 7:30 a.m.

Open container and public consumption laws apply on Ames streets and public areas, but people are free to consume alcoholic beverages in the stadium lots.

People can bring their own beer and wine, but not vodka. Hard liquor is prohibited. And public intoxication is still illegal in the parking lot.

When it comes to tailgating, people are allowed one parking spot per vehicle. No one can hold a parking space, but parking officials might make an exception if that other person is just a few cars back in line.

Once parked, tailgaters are not allowed to stand on top of cars or buses, use real furniture, make a wood fire or bring kegs or glass bottles.

People are not allowed to spend the night, but they can leave their cars behind if they feel like they shouldn't be driving.

More rules can be found here.

Ames residents who would like to avoid the crowd and traffic altogether should take alternative routes around the stadium.

People who need to leave town and want to avoid slow-moving traffic could take 13th Street to Interstate 35 and Dakota Avenue to Iowa Highway 30.
