My issue really is not the $40. If you are going to make me pay for parking sell me a fricking season pass for $240 and let me be done with it. Now I need to carry me arse to campus every Friday night to get a pass or risk not getting a spot.


True dat. Can you imagine the cluster-frick Highland Rd. is going to be on game days next year? Holy shite!!!

I copied Joe Alleva and Herb Vincent last night on this message that I sent to my tailgate crew.

"We all knew that this was coming. An extra $320 to $360 bucks isn't that big of a deal, however they figured out a way to make this a cumbersome process.

Their decision to not sell the parking permit in advance is another example of potential lost revenue for the university. They could collect the parking fee at the same time that season tickets are due. That would produce additional revenue for the university while allowing the Fans to avoid the hassle of purchasing parking passes before every game.



Instead, we are stuck with a system that will ensure more traffic congestion during game day. Can you imagine the lines involved with 8,000 - 10,000 cars trying to pay cash for a parking space. The traffic jam on Highland road will likely extend to Burbank.

Our friend from Duke is too far removed from the common fan. He simply does not get it."

below is the link to lsusports regarding this development.

Especially for the first home game next year. There is going to be so much unfamiliarity with the process and it will likely be a nightmare. They should at least give each season ticket account a free pass. They'd still make money charging for trailers and people who come every week without tickets.
