Am I the only one frustrated with the number of empty spaces in the parking lots? I donate but get pushed to B1 and at multiple sellouts this year there have been a ton of spots in the north lot when we walk to the stadium. If I was a donor parking up in Vet Met I would be really pissed if I saw the number of open stalls up in B1. I don't know what the right answer is but IMO the AD is underselling the lots.
 
I'm frustrated with people who are in line and send people out to save spaces. Also with the "miscommunication" that lead to a cluster **** Saturday AM. When the AD says we can show up 30 minutes before to get in line, but the Police Department says we can't, there's an issue.
 
In A4 we saw at least a dozen cars 2 hours before the game struggling to find spots. There weren't any ROTC folks at the game Saturday for whatever reason, so we think some people snuck into the wrong lot. Highly doubt they're underselling and if they ever oversold it would cause all sorts of issues for sellout games

This has been a weird year. Last year it was sometimes a challenge to find a spot in my assigned lot. This year there are lots of open spots. Have no idea why, but it’s not the norm.
 
I feel like they didn’t max out the north lots the last few years with the construction. I got bumped a lot south in bball and my old lot was probably 90% full.
 
Gold donors for basketball stuck in C5. Was told by the ticket office that several good spots closer to Hilton need to be used for construction purposes. I think they should have parked their equipment in C5.
 
Parking is 100% distributed. That’s just people not showing up or parking in handicap/ADA instead.
Or carpooling. I think the number of tailgaters was down on Saturday from what I could tell, because of the weather being sketchy. We are in B4 but we didn't tailgate Saturday. We got there around 12:30 or so and didn't have a problem finding a spot..
 
B1, remember things happen at CY, practice happened Saturday there. They may go like to allow spots for that.
 
There were plenty of open spots in every lot when the selection window opened in the summer. Here's the best way to get into a closer lot:

As a donor who parks in Vet Med, I'm much happier there than B1 TBH.

You can get in line...but not there...

Or there...
Or there...
Or there...

And if you do there we will make you move.

Incorrect.

The lot open times are the exact same as last year. It lead to some really long days last year.
