Many of us — let’s be honest — don’t even know where the Yale Bowl is. Much less how to get there. The course ahead, though, for those of you going to the game this Saturday, is not untravelled, and is not as dangerous as it might appear. Here are your options.

1. Car. If you’re a Yalie on wheels, you might consider driving over and tailgating out of your trunk. Before you do, though, think about parking, which will suck, and think about how drunk you will want to be, which is very. Don’t drink and drive, kids.

2. Bike. If you’re uncoordinated or don’t know how to ride a bike, steer clear of this two-wheeled option. Alcohol and inexperience are a feisty combo. If you’re a hipster, though, this might be the option for you. If you’re not a hipster, and you wish you were, this might get you part of the way there. Unless everyone else is too drunk to remember you rode your bike.

3. Limo. If you rent a limo, you’re going to make a lot of friends. This really solves the drinking and driving problem, and keeps you out of the cold. Plus, if we can’t win at football, let’s at least beat Harvard at being classy.

4. Walk. Bullblog’s recommended method. There’s no law against drinking and walking, as long as they’re not simultaneous, and it really just isn’t that far. In fact, Bullblog will make it really easy for you. We’re providing a map later this week.

5. Run. Same advantage as walking, but this will really keep you warm, get your adrenaline up, and give you a nice flush if you’re not of the asian or jewish persuasion but still want to appear very, very drunk.

6. And how could I forget — the shuttles. They’re not comfortable. They’re not pretty. And they’re certainly not fast — unless you feel like getting to the game around 9 am, plan on waiting at least half an hour to even get on one. On the plus side, you might have time to play a whole game of “99 bottles of beer on the wall.”

The gist of it is, kids, stay safe, and get to the game. If you do that, you’re golden.
