The Oswego School District will provide bus transportation from remote parking lots at Plank Junior High, Churchill Elementary and Oswego East High School. The service will begin at 4:30 p.m. with drop off at the North gate of Pickerill Stadium. Bus service back to the remote lots will be available at the conclusion of the game.

At the conclusion of the game, travel routes will be limited out of the parking lots in the following manner:
