Ross-Ade Stadium: Purdue
Dennis Wierzbicki, Photographer
Plainfield | IL | USA | Posted: 9:25 PM on 09.20.09
->> After spending the last three NCAA football seasons shooting at the same three stadiums (stadia?), I'm taking my show on the road this year, visiting several new venues.

This past week I was at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, and this coming Saturday I will be in West Lafayette at Purdue's Ross-Ade stadium for the Purdue Vs. Notre Dame contest.

The Guide information on Ross-Ade is 6 years old, so I'm looking for the standard info a first-time shooter would need, namely:

* Where is media will call?
* Where is the photo room?
* Is there secure storage for gear?
* Is there WiFi? If not, is there wired internet?
* I have been told I won't have media parking, so where should I park?
* Any special restrictions on shooting (as in, is kneeling required anywhere, and how to move from one end to the other)?


Thanks in advance

->> Thanks to all for the help.

From Purdue's Web site:

"Purdue will host Notre Dame in Ross-Ade Stadium this Saturday at 8 p.m. The game will mark just the sixth night home game in Purdue history."

I'm assuming this means that there aren't permanent lights at Ross-Ade, and if so, I'm guessing lighting for a night game is pretty iffy?

Any idea where the best place to park is?

I can't see any obvious choice.
