Re: *Game Thread* Iowa State 9/5

I would love if we could complain about parking at UNI. That would mean we were selling out, instead of 11-14,000 crowds. I guess that's what I was getting at in my head. It's not a bad thing from their point of view, and I've never had an issue parking within a mile of JTS. I've also never gotten there 45 min before kick off either though, I suppose.

Re: *Game Thread* Iowa State 9/5

I usually park over by Gilchrist or the music building and walk through the buildings and over the bridge to UNI sporting events - don't think I've ever parked by the dome or McLeod, mainly to avoid traffic after (always coming in from out of town). You're right, it's a nice problem to have to sellout. I wish we had that issue more often in Cedar Falls. Nothing against ISU or their stadium (which I think increases the game day experience/atmosphere x10, by the way compared to my previous trips there), but it's going to get hairy when you have 62,000 people in a small area, combined with regular Saturday night traffic and people going out. It's going to be tough to keep everyone happy and traffic/parking flowing smoothly in that scenario. I'm sure early afternoon games will work better to avoid that.

You parked all the way to almost Beedle Dr?!
My God man, parking at Kmart would have been a fraction of the distance.
There had to have been parking in at least campustown area or the Memorial Union parking ramp.

I've never known anyone to park and walk from that far away.

And for the record, it is 2.6 miles from West Town Pub (farther away than Beedle) to Jack Trice via Beach and 4th (the north side of the stadium, not the south side which would be closer).

Next time, you might want to get a plan for parking when you attend an event with 60,000 in attendance.

Good God. We arrived after six pm and parked less than a mile from the stadium in the Vet Hospital lot, and there were plenty of spots left.

I used to live by West Towne Pub when I went to college and would NEVER even think about walking to JTS, even in a very drunken state.
Worst case scenario, park in campus town (where there's always open spots) and walk. Even then, you can still probably find something closer in those residential neighborhoods west of the stadium if you look hard enough.

Props to that guy for walking though, especially on a hot and humid night. My legs and feet hurt just thinking about it.

I just did, took about 10 minutes to figure out how, but I had already deleted my cc info, so even if I couldn't cancel subscription they hopefully couldn't have charged me. Also when I went to log in it didn't work and I know I had my password right, but had to get a reset first.
