Back in the day, Weird Al did a parody of MTV called 'Al-TV' where he would do skits and phony, but hilarious, interviews with celebrities. In celebration of today's mega event at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, I bring you the time that Weird Al interviewed Sir Paul McCartney. Obviously my favorite part is when Paul simply orders beef.

Here are the deets that the U of M sent over regarding tonight's little get together.

So you have your tickets to Paul McCartney…now how are you getting to the show?
The University of Montana wants everyone to have the best experience possible so we are encouraging you to plan ahead. There are many different parking and transportation options for the show and planning to arrive early is your best bet.

ARRIVE EARLY! Getting 25,000 people on campus takes time.
With only two ways onto campus, traffic is going to back up the closer it gets to show time. Avoid the traffic jam by taking shuttles, walking or arriving early to get a good parking spot on campus.

The Official Pre-Show Tailgate will start at 5pm in Kirkland Memorial Grove outside the Stadium. With a number of your favorite local food vendors and beers on tap, it is the perfect excuse to avoid the traffic and come to campus early.

Parking Options:
Want to park on campus or nearby? Come early to get the best parking spots.
•  On Campus – Over 4000 spaces are available on campus for $10-$15 per space. (No RVs.)
•  Campus Drive – The street around the stadium will be closed to vehicle traffic but the southern half of Campus Drive is open for on-street parking.
•  Residential Area – Parking is allowed on all the residential streets around campus after 5pm.

*Please remember that the shuttles will be in high demand after the show. All Park & Ride shuttle parking locations are within easy walking distance, should you choose to walk instead of wait.

* Parking in downtown Misoula will be free after 3 pm. The parking garages and Caras Park will lift their gates at 4 pm.

Walking Options:
Missoula is a very pedestrian-friendly community. The Kim Williams Trail leads straight to campus and it is only a 20 minute walk from Downtown Missoula to the Stadium.
