For basketball I keep getting closer to Jack Trice and for football closer to Hilton
I've always had a pass for football but was curious. How fast to the 4 lots closest to Hilton fill up before a football game?
At least the $250 spot gets you a guranteed parking spot. The general public parking can get a little dicey, especially if their is an event as CY Stephens.
Or just wait until after tip-off and park in the half-empty C2 or C3 lots.
It really is quite amazing how poorly the parking lot is utilized for basketball.
For football I usually park around Hilton for $20. I've never had an issue of Im 2+ hours early. If your any later than 2 hours before kickoff it can get full. Also if you have a truck take it. Definitely nicer when jumping the curb as you can park on the grass in certain areas around Hilton .
If that's full I'll park behind the power plant along university for free. That's a 20 minute walk but I actually get out of town quicker as I can get onto 13th easily and go to South Dakota/30 . The advantage of parking there is you avoid the madness of the traffic after a game. Tis a pain if tailgating tho.

It doesn't fill up nearly as fast as you think it would. I haven't parked there in years but you kind of feel disconnected. I personally would rather hit the south grass lots as the walk to the stadium is pretty much the same.
The worst is when there is enough rain/flooding that they don't have any of the grass lots open. Then you can't find a spot for anything.
Yeah, I agree. I have a go to spot on those days though and never have any issues.
It's always a crap shoot parking around Hilton. We would wait in line an hour or so sometimes and get a pretty good spot. If it even has any rain in the forecast though, you can get there early only to find out the lots are closed for people in G7 if it even sprinkles out. Plus dealing with event at CY or Hilton you always have to keep reading any parking updates the Athletic Department puts out. Plus getting out of there really sucks after a game.
I don't know why anyone would want to pay to park there. It's brutal walking from there to Hilton when it's cold and windy.
I love the fact that we will be able to exit to the north after basketball games without waiting for the fatcats around Hilton to exit first. I hope they're restricted to exiting to Lincolnway (but I'm not holding my breath).
I think people are bouncing back & forth between FB & MBB.
