Everything you need to know about Cat/Griz rules and regulations

Warm clothes and some patience will be required for the 2022 Brawl of the Wild in Bozeman this Saturday. Both Friday and Saturday come with some strict rules for Cat/Griz parking and what times gates will be open.

WE WILL UPDATE WITH ADDITIONAL DETAILS AS THEY ARE RELEASED

With ESPN College Gameday doing their broadcast live from the campus of Montana State University before the game, there are several more layers of complexity to parking, road closures and where you'll be allowed to go and when. All times listed below are in local, Mountain Time.

If you're planning on bringing a sign to ESPN Gameday, make sure your signs abide by the simple rules ESPN states on their website:

One of the most beloved traditions associated with College GameDay is the making of signs.
No vulgar signs, .com, .net, .org, political or religious signs are allowed.
Signs cannot be on poles or oversized. All signs brought to Saturday's taping will be inspected before entry...

Here are all the details we know so far, directly from Montana State University. We will update and add to these details as they are released by MSU. We've included a map of the parking lots at Montana State below that you can enlarge.
