Free Tri-Dual this Saturday!

OSU Dairy cows

 The Beavers will open their home wrestling season this Saturday hosting duals with both Rutgers and Utah Valley. It becomes a Tri-Dual when Rutgers and Utah Valley finish the day by wrestling each other. Admission to the entire event is free to all.

Here is the schedule:
 11:00 am - Oregon State vs Rutgers 
1:00 pm - Oregon State vs Utah Valley 
3:00 pm - Rutgers vs Utah Valley

All of the wrestling meets take place inside Gill Coliseum. Since Gill Coliseum is adjacent to Reser Stadium and there will also be a football game that day at 3:00, traffic will become increasingly heavy all day. The lots around Reser and Gill will be pay lots for the day. See the OSU parking map.

One alternative is to use the parking lot at the Benton County Fairgrounds, off 53rd, access by Reservoir Rd. For this Saturday only, the shuttle from the Fairgrounds will start at 9:00 am. It usually starts three hours before kick-off of the football game. Cost is $5 per person to ride the shuttle bus to Gill. The return trip is free. The shuttle will continue to run all day until after the conclusion of the football game.

If you wanted to camp, it is also possible to camp at the Fairgrounds' Oak Grove Campground, but I have no idea how full they might be. Check here for more detail. Entry to the campground is off 53rd Street, entry to the free parking lot is off Reservoir Rd.
