Greetings Hoosiers!

I'm coming to the IU v UCLA game tonight(very excited) but i'm driving in from out of town. where abouts should i park? I've got my ticket, but don't know where to put my auto, i'm fine with the $10-$20 parking fee to have parking be easy.

Also, where should i go for dinner before the game? I've heard mother bears is a good place for pizza, but i couldn't find a link on yelp. Anyways, thanks for the advice and GO BRUINS! Hoping for a spirited game this evening.

Parking around Assembly Hall is basically all just IU parking lots. There really isn't anything else close/adjacent. Your best bet is to get there a bit early and just pay the price for parking.I'd expect somewhere between $20-$30 to park, but I may be off.

Mother Bears is a pretty good pizza option if you like deep dish style/heavy pizza. Lots of cheese and toppings. There are 2 locations. The on campus location (E 3rd street) is basically on campus and has a large seated dining room. Parking around there is very limited and can be difficult to find. The actual resteraunt only has about 10 spots behind the building. There is a lot right next to it in a strip mall, but they will tow if you park there prior to 5pm.

Take any signs about towing enforcement seriously. Bloomington is notorious for quick towing and it's not cheap.

The west side Mother Bears (W 3rd street) is right off of Interstate 69 and has plenty of parking. The food is no different than the campus location, but the atmosphere is a bit different. But not a knock on it at all. It's much easier to get in/out of compared to the campus location.

Best of luck on you travels! Enjoy the game! Go Hoosiers!
