I am picking my parking spot location today for the upcoming season and was curious on peoples thoughts of G6? Is it pretty cramped in there? To me it seems like its closer to the stadium and easier for traffic flow after the game. I donated enough to where i could park in C4 and B4. Any advice would be appreciated.

G6 is gravel or at least it was before the improvements. It's a closer walk to the stadium but it is a hike if you end up meeting friends in B4 for example. I didn't find it to be cramped but we would get there early enough to get a spot that backed up to grass so we had more room. Definitely less people than the paved lots.

G6 and G7 lots funnel into a gravel path to get up to the road. It might be easier traffic wise because they only allow you to turn right out onto the road. They've got people directing traffic. It is similar to the paved lots though in that there is jockeying for a spot in line to get out of G6 and G7.
One thing I forgot to mention was that if it rained the night before, there may be some mud to gravel debris to watch out for.

Can someone who hasn’t purchased a parking spot yet that ha access to the lot preview screen take a screen shot of c3 and post it. My tailgating crew has most of their spots but one of our friends doesn’t pick until Tuesday. I can’t see availability since I’ve selected.

I just logged in and 69 (nice) spots remaining.

I would also argue that you get significantly more tailgating space in G6 than in the paved lots.

We were in G6 for years until we moved to the commuter lots.

I liked it, partially because you don't get mudded out. Exiting the lot was significantly better than G7.

Be prepared for sand! I still have sand in some of my stuff and it's been 3 or 4 years!

You’re T’ing up a sand in smart Alec response for me but I will be nice.

I went with A2, so it looks like you pick individual spots of where you want to park but that lot is actually first come first serve right?

First year getting a parking pass, feel a little silly donating a 1000 to end up picking a 500 dollar spot lol
Don’t. I have been doing the same thing. Closer to stadium, quicker exit, and more room.
Never mind. I see you went with the paved lots. Yes, first come first serve. No assigned spots.

I think the space you pick may be your assigned spot. At least that is the direction they have been starting to take in a number of the other lots.

You are only picking the LOT. On game day, you park anywhere you want within the lot you picked. That is what I read earlier.

I know for the lots right around the stadium they are individually assigned with numbers. You park at your assigned space.
