There are a number of city controlled garages and surface lots in Downtown Orlando near I-4 and the Amway Center (Orlando Magic) about 1.5 miles from the Citrus Bowl. There is a free shuttle that runs from this area before, during and after the game. The cost to park on the street might be free and the cost in most of the garages is $10. The boarding point is allegedly 78 West Central Parkway, but I am trying to confirm that, now. This for me is a better solution than paying $32 to drive into a congested area to park, when I have little time for traditional tailgating. (10:18AM arrival at airport)
I am trying to verify the pickup points, but I think this is a better deal than parking at the stadium if you are on a tight schedule and cannot tailgate and arrive before 10 AM in the lots. The arena is just west of I-4, an just north of the E/W tollway that leads to the Citrus Bowl, but most of the bar/restaurant district, and main downtown is just east of I-4.
I plan to park in one of the garages/ramps, grab a couple of beers downtown if the airport trip goes well, and jump on the shuttle for the 5 minute or so ride west to the Citrus bowl.
I see there is a Minnesota Marching Band event scheduled at 11.55 at some pavilion near the stadium. Does anyone know if this is near the Lorna Doone Park where the UMAA tailgate is?
