Authorities plan to close the stadium parking lot today and re-open it to the public at 4 p.m. Sunday. That s two hours before gates open and 312 hours before the service starts. Once the parking lots are full, no one else will be let in, said Schenk. He said that will also include anyone attempting to walk in to the area. The parking lot has room for about 1,000 vehicles.
Officials encourage people coming to the event to carpool.
Wilhelm will be in command of the security. The command post with representatives of the various agencies will be in the press box, which Schenk said will provide a good view of the entire crowd. Rowan Emergency Services Director Wayne Ashworth said one EMS unit and two Rowan Rescue Squad ambulances will be at the park. Exit 63 will route right on Lane Street to Turkey Road to the Moose Road stadium entrance. Exit 63 will turn right and enter through the Lane Street entrance.
