Free parking. Driving in late.

Hello all,
It’s been a very long time since I posted so please don’t murder me for this question. I usually attend one game a year with a family member with a parking pass. I was gifted a ticket to tomorrows game but no parking pass. I looked online and the cheapest ones are $250 plus. I can’t find it in me to pay that. I have to work most of the day tomorrow and will only be able to drive in about 5pm. Do you all think that there will still be parking available in the free lots like hay field, golf course and the levee lot at that late hour? I do not mind a walk. Even a far one. Just looking for some advice from those of you who attend games regularly and park in these areas. Thanks in advance.

You'll be able to park in the levee lots, but it'll be one of the last sections of that lot. The walk is not bad at all to be honest and I'm with you, I'd never pay $250 to park when you can walk faster than the traffic moves.

drive around the neighbrohoods north of campus off of nicholson. I guarantee you can park in someone's yard for $20-$40

There is free parking EVERYWHERE if you look hard enough. But don't ever buy those online parking passes, total scams. The further down Burbank and Nicholson you go, you'll see parking lots charging up to $60 to park and only a 30ish min walk to the stadium.

I'd say your chances of making it into the stadium by kick off are pretty slim.

When you say drive in around 5 do you mean getting to campus at 5 or leaving your house at 5?

I’ll be getting to campus at 5. I figure if I can park anywhere within 3 miles, I can make that walk on time. I’m not sure why people think it wouldn’t be enough time. As long as I can be in a parking spot by about 5:15ish.

Park on the street in either Southdowns or somewhere near Trinity Episcopal. Heck, you could park near Jubans and walk there in that time. Would be a 2 mile walk.

You are most likely going to encounter traffic getting into campus. Depending on when, where, and what it looks like at the location you are trying to find a place to park, 5:00 might turn into 6:00 quick. And then you will almost certainly be looking at quite a walk from anywhere you may find to park. Not to mention the sketch factor of where you could have to park.

You may be perfectly fine. I just can't function in a world with all those unknowns, and chaos. I need to have a plan, and a schedule with ample timing for anything that may go off the plan and delay. If my options were watching from home, or arriving on campus at 5 and hoping to get into the stadium, I am watching from home.

I am chaos. Lol I don’t want to pass up the opportunity to be in tiger stadium another time this year. It’s either give up now or give it the old college try. Id prefer to try.

Just an FYI, they’ve been known to close those levee lots an hour or two before the game whether they are full or not. Not saying it happens every game, but the cops over that way seem to kinda do whatever they feel like doing.

Your best bet would be to pay to park down Nicholson near the president streets or on burbank. It won’t be $250
