You should get to Hammer's Lot between 6:30 AM and 7:00 AM . Any later the traffic will be crazier. Arriving that early will give you plenty of time to spend with Kenny's Red Pinto Group and the TBD Group plus meet others there too. Also you should head for New Era Field 90 minutes before kickoff so that you can see The Fieldhouse then soak up all the Pregame atmosphere.
