New Parking Sections at the Tigue

[zephyr]

We were wondering about that, since that crowd was louder than the Tigue, lol. I looked at the ul schedule, but didn't see anything. Is it a high school thing going on this weekend?

I was there watching the ESA game and you are right, it did seem like the soccer game fans were louder. lol

I sat in sect 109 handicap. The friggin stadium was very loud. Never heard that soccer ⚽️ gig.

They definitely had lot B last year, pretty much the same setup is this year. Not sure about lot A but it sure looks like the same setup as last year to me

Lot A was a construction zone. The big lot A closest to Track was open parking. Only Lot was B and Suite parking near football stadium in 2017.

Parking far doesn't bother me.

EVERYONE should park a little further than they need to.

Save the close spots for those that need them

I'm an All American Donor and have been for a while. This is the first year we've had to have parking passes for baseball. Before it was first-come first-serve.

Like I said in my initial post, I like the idea but, when nearly 2/3 of the A section is empty and 1/2 of the B section is empty and the general admission folks are parking on congress. My point of this whole discussion is that there is no reason to make the parking sections that big. The Tigue only holds 6,033 but, it looks like the parking is setup of 20,000. When 2/3 of the A Section is empty I have a problem with that.

It matters not to me how it looks. You give at a higher level, thus you have a better parking zone. It's setup to reward higher levels of giving and hopefully motivate others to do the same. As I've stated, once the cost to me to participate at certain levels becomes unreasonable and I will no longer participate. But there is no need to devalue the present level of perks by shrinking the parking areas so they look full and allowing those that have decided not to pay for parking to park closer. Either pay for it, or not.

The problem is NOT that the parking areas are too big... or that the $ level is too high. It's a combination of both. The university is leaving money on the table with seemingly arbitrary size and $ amounts of the parking situation. Nevermind the fact that parking is taking reasonable tailgating area, and tailgating is pushed into the limestone. It doesn't make sense. They should have taken a season to see how things are/ have been, and maybe talked to people...
But they didn't, the decisions were arbitrary, and they are leaving money on the table. Including some of mine.
