La Crosse Police are reminding drivers to be patient when traveling around the UW-La Crosse area on Friday and Saturday.

The department posted some tips including that drivers should anticipate delays and allow extra time for travel. They also suggest drivers stay alert due to the increase in both vehicle and pedestrian traffic during the two-day track meet. The gates open on Friday at 8:30 a.m. for Division 1 competition, with Divisions 2 and 3 at 2:30 p.m. On Saturday, gates open at 8 a.m. for all sessions.
