If the Mardi Gras Associations controls the parking I assume they pay dear money for that privilege.

Oh no, not this again 🤔

LOL

Don’t mind me. Just here for the fireworks.

Popcorn ready!

I’ll admit. At least the administration was way ahead of the game this time around and fans can plan way ahead compared to last year when the parking stuff was released a week before. So kudos to them for that.

Not my battle if the univ wants to undervalue itself once again

That's what I thought too. Waiting until the last minute last year was just plain wrong.

For sure. Now, as far as our parking lot being used a public city park, that’s a different story.

Well technically it is public property that is being used for a private city park. Remember, during Mardi Gras, you have to pay to play.

True. But my question is access: the press release points out that for the VTech series N. College/Bertrand will be closed during parade time. I haven't done the research of when that parade rolls, but if it is during/before the games, I guess the only way in will be from Congress (but no left turn entry) or from Souvenier Gate. I don't remember this happening in past years, so not sure how that will play out. Especially for those like me that come from the Saint Streets area.

ETA: just did some quick research for the VTech series:

21st: game @6pm, no parade shown on parade schedule
22nd: game @2pm, Bonaparte rolls @6:30pm, so should not be an issue. Triton ball @6pm, but agian, should not be an issue for us.
23rd: game @1pm, no parade shown on parade schedule.

Yes now everyone has 25 days to figure a very elaborate detailed plan to park your car.
