Long time season ticket holder, still parking (sometimes illegally) just west of the stadium in colonial village area. Parking tickets are cheaper than parking passes. Get a cooler on wheels and hang out with friends who have a parking spot. See you all in B4 this fall!

BEAT THE HOKS!

Parking pass is $50 bucks. Didn't they post that all parking tickets around the stadium are going up ??

Dang that sucks to lose the RV pass. It appears I kept mine this year and my Gold rank is in the 400 range.

I was in the low 700s. When I asked about next year, they told me I would be around 460 out of 655 at the Captains level. They said there were no guarantees that would get me one even if I jumped up to the Captains level. Sounds like if the team continues to improve you need to be at the Captains level even to have a chance at a RV pass. So plan ahead.

I am staying at Gold and taking a nice vacation every year instead of giving it to Iowa State.

I have 328 priority points.

Not exactly sure.
One thing that may cause some issues this year, I received a free parking pass in G7 due to the messed up parking last year. They really can’t give free passes out and then say you don’t get a parking pass can they? I mean they could, but that would be being an even bigger rear end than other things they did.

Did you have to call and get your point total ? I’ve never found it

With all the parking around Hilton now 500 donor level I don’t think they will run out

Started going to games in the 50's and parking was not an issue! Johnny Majors changed all that. Have had up to 6 season tix at times and done all the parking things. Don't really care for all the stress that goes with the paved parking lots which is mainly excessive tailgating equipment that spills over into adjoining parking areas. Started parking "up north" and taking CyRide bus. Big advantage is getting out of town a whole lot faster which is another negative about the paved lots, take forever after the game to get out of them.

My rank is 287 out of 1337 for Cardinal level and my time for going online to select my parking spot is April 30 at 4:15pm.

I'm sure I can get C-4 if I want it, but I enjoy parking in the grass because I have a short bus for tailgating. I may select C-4 and then see if someone would like to swap me for a G-7 pass plus give a little money to make it a fair trade (won't try to screw anyone).

You are not supposed to be proud of riding the short bus.

I parked on hard surface for several years. I prefer G7 since they park you in order, for the most part, and half the parking spots are not tied up with tents that people won’t move even after they go into the game. Usually one person would stay outside and tailgate or slowly put stuff away. Then yell at you when you ask for them to give up a spot.
