Parking lots after games.
- Thread starter brianhos
- Start date
We were in C5 and waited to leave Hilton until people cleared out. We were out of the lot within maybe 5-10 minutes. Don’t get how there is so much variance.
Traffic is going to be terrible! Let's just go hit CyTown for a couple beers and let the traffic clear.
we are in C5 too and except for the Marquette game, it's moved fine. We got to our car at 8:30 and we were on university at 8:35.
Was also in D5. There needs to be two lanes at the exit of D5 - one lane for smart people that turns right out of D5 going north and then through D4 onto University, and another lane for slow people that turns left out of D5 toward Jack Trice Way. But there are always people that block up the entire exit of D5 with their one car trying to turn left.
My suggestion if anyone in the AD is listening:
B1, C1, B2 & C2 forced to leave north onto Lincoln Way
A3, B3, C3, & D3 forced to exit onto Center Drive, left lane North and right lane South
C4 & D4 forced to exit out of the D4 exit onto University (with cones so they get one of the University lanes)
C5 & D5 forced to exit south onto Jack Trice Way
Jack Trice lots all forced to exit south to the light at University & S 16th
All it would take is communication to all pass holders (probably several times) and put up barricades with staff (so they don't get moved). By my count it would take 7 barricades. I would put cones up so that the D4 exit has complete access to the outside lane of University and anyone coming from the north needs to move to the inside lane. I'd also leave the 'back lanes' open out of C4 in case they want to flow into C3 or C5 because that is the hardest lot to get out of in this set up so they should have the most options.

We park in B1, to the west of Fisher Theater for mbb. We enter southbound from Beach and exit on Beach (turning right/north.) We always have to wait some to get out because of all the B1 cars coming from the north part of that lot. (edited to give directions)
Last night the traffic lights at the intersection of Beach and Lincoln Way were flashing red in all directions. No way for pedestrians to legally or safely cross either street. No officers or parking/security folks either. That was a first.

It seemed to me Lincoln Way lights cause all issues exiting the main drive to the west. There is always the guy that pulls through the intersection to block all traffic including the people to turn left (south) away from Lincoln Way. Ug ya last night was not great.
I will say that after the game last night was a fairly high level ********. I think I sat in my space for about 15mins without even moving. When I did move it was about 2ft at a time for a long while.
Attending the game against UCF on the 21st.....for an out of towner who will be in Hilton for a MBB for the first time in a long while, without a parking pass, any suggestions of where to park? Will take a look through the above for clues.
After thinking more about your plan it would be pretty awful to make the C4 lot get into D4 to get out. Pretty much all of D4 would get out while C4 was trapped for a really long time. C4 can actually split in half and either go south into D5 and out onto JT way or cross to D4.
Are they still leaving multiple empty lots?
Crowding people in when they didnt need to used to be the main problem
All basketball parking has a surcharge added if you leave at the under 4:00…
