EXITING FAIR PARK: Depending on where you park your car, you may be directed to take a route back to the freeway system different than the one you traveled on the way to the game. To expedite the flow of traffic, five exit routes are used to connect drivers back to the freeway system. Police officers may direct you to an alternate exit route if the primary exit becomes congested. Also look for the blue state highway route markers along each exit route.
