Transportation: There are several ways to get from the MPLS airport to the UofM campus. They are:
Light rail - Take the light rail from either airport to the University ($2-$4) which takes approximate 18 minutes. From the Humphrey Terminal (Stop #: 51435) or the Lindbergh Terminal (Stop #: 51434) take the light rail "Blue Line" to US Bank Stadium (Stop #: 56330) where you'll disembark. Then take the "Green Line" from the US Bank Stadium (Stop #: 56338) to the University East Bank Station (stop #: 56002). From here you'll walk 1/2 block east to SE Harvard St and then left (north) 1/2 block to The Graduate or 1 block to the Rec Center. Please verify light rail routes at www.metrotransit.org.
Car Rental - The MPLS airports offers several car rental options. To drive to the event, from the Lindbergh Terminal, take MN-5 East from Glumack Dr. In 1.3 miles take MN-62W for 4.5 miles and then merge onto I35W north. Take I35W for approximately 7 miles to University Ave SE. Take exit 18 and at the top of the ramp turn right onto University Ave SE. Follow University Ave SE for 1 mile to Ontario St SE where you'll turn right. In two blocks turn right onto SE Washington Ave where you'll drive three blocks to SE Harvard St. Turn right and The Graduate Hotel will be on your right and the Rec Center will be one block further on your right.
