In addition to the above,
BRIDGES OUT
The I-64 Bridge is CLOSED, and it is not looking like it will be back open before the MG Shoot. For anyone coming from the North / West plan on having to take a detour from New Albany to Clarksville via I-265 to the I-65 Bridge. Depending on the day of the week and time of day this can obviously be a major issue. During rush hour it can easily take 1-2 hours to get from Southern IN into Louisville.
The bridge at Knob Creek was recently taken out by a logging truck, and there is a temporary fix in place. Not sure how this will impact access into and out of the event, but I am sure it is going to slow things down. Given the volume of traffic that will be going in/out of the place, I really hope the temporary bridge will hold. We have also been getting a very steady stream of rain which could come into play.
PARKING
If you get there early enough (no later than 06:30-07:00) you can park "fairly close", beyond that it is a crap shoot where you will end up. FYI - you park where they send you, not where you want to go. If you have a "legit" handicap parking pass/plate they will try to work with you, but it is first come first serve and those limited areas will fill up quick. Rain will also play a major factor, and we have been getting plenty, so things are already going to be saturated. In some past years it pretty much took a a 4 wheel drive to get in/out of some of the parking areas. Please see the map below for an outline on the parking situation
HOTELS
There are hotels in the Radcliff/Ft Knox area, but watch out because many of them are old and run down. If you are looking at that area I would make sure you do some research on the hotel to make sure it is OK.
"Brooks Area" which is at Exit 121 off of Interstate I-65, just south of the center of Louisville, hotels are newer and there is also plenty of stores and resturants in the area.
