Public Parking Passes

[CYdTracked]

When you look over the course of the last 10-15 years the grass lots really haven't been closed very many times. We had one season that was pretty rough but other than that it's been pretty much fine.

Agree but that 1 year sucked because they were open for 2 games then closed the rest of the season. The last game they were open was the Iowa game we had the rain delays with and they were a mess getting out of. They sit in low lying areas with poor drainage. After CyTown is complete hoping that maybe they consider some long term improvements for the grass lots that maybe includes some better drainage and bringing the grade up a little so they don't sit wet. We don't need to pave them but the G4 and G4 lots have a ridge that goes down the middle that if they were to get more of a level grade or less of a slope it would add a lot more parking spots there and hopefully solve some of the wet spots they have to occasionally close and lose spots as well. There is a creek that runs there that could run some drainage tile to to help as well. G8 sits a little low too and have seen good chunks of that lot closed due to mud as well. It would be a bit of an investment but it's not nearly as costly as it would be to pave them all vs just add some basic tile drainage and fix the grade in the lots that would not only add more parking but help keep them open during some wet periods.

Throwing down some rock in the middle of all the GA parking would be a huge improvement.

S1 is a public handicap lot. I've parked there a ton with family.

Its really surprising how fast the S-1 handicapped lot fills up, its generally been full an hour before game and the overflow can be kind of hit and miss. They start by letting some park in S-2, which is generally half full at most, then they start sliding you down the row of lots.

I always preferred the lot before they parked you and you could chose your spot. Never had any trouble parking there, one time the kid said I needed the state sticker and I replied "we have the license plate, and my daughter in her wheelchair is right behind us."

You don't get to choose your spot anymore? That's new in the last year or two.

Been a couple of years they park you in a numbered spot, I would ask to go down and unload and them drive back to the spot to park. When they started after we got parked and I was walking to the tailgate, a guy stopped me and asked "did you park in a numbered spot?" I told him I did, and he replied "I have seen you here every game tailgating with your daughter, and I told them to go to hell" and then he parked up all the way to the north of the lot. Not sure if he kept doing it, the rest of the season or not.
