I know there are a lot of closures around the downtown area on the weekends. Could somebody who travels that area frequently on the weekends give a recommendation for getting to the stadium from the North Side? (59 from Kingwood) I was thinking about bringing 59 though town to 45 or 288 S to 610 to Kirby and parking in the South Kirby lot. But I saw the following on http://traffic.tamu.edu/incmap/ that:

D Southbound at Texas 288, total closure 24 hours continuously 5 am Monday, October 7. Use Texas 288 to detour to IH 610-South Loop.

Sounds like 45 is the better choice. Would it be even better to take 610S/E on the north of downtown and loop around to avoid the traffic buildup?

Anybody driving in should check out this site to see any traffic holdups before leaving. If you live in the area, this is a GREAT site to have bookmarked!!! http://traffic.tamu.edu/incmap/

What about parking? I the S Kirby lot the best to shoot for and hows the best way to get there?
