And now a word about parking...

If you haven't noticed (and you must have been under a rock to not), the parking at Football games has once again changed. As reported, the Reactor Field is no longer public. According to the MU TSF Parking Diagram, it is the current staff and media parking lot (that's a lot of media). The old lot for media and staff is now Y permit (that's across from the art building). Paying areas are Maryland and Parking Structure #7 (which will be refereed to as James) are $15 a pop. Additional to Maryland and James, the lot for the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center (behind Blood Center) is $15. This is a wonderful lot, and not because I work there. The VA parking lot is described as "Family Friendly." Not sure what this means, but don't bring lots of beer here. They may bust you.
There do not appear to be any other changes to the lots that I can tell. Nothing is posted about Turner, University, or Hitt St PS. Also, if you don't mind the walk, parking around the Vet School is normally open. Take Ashland Rd. I parked there last year without problem. About the same walk from Hitt or University PS.
Also, new signs have been posted on Providence both north and south bound as "No Parking, Tow Away." Don't tempt them. I don't recall anything south of the light by Hinkson, so you maybe able to park up the hill. It appears that parking along Stadium is still allowed (saw cars there this morning), at least west of Providence. There are No Parking signs (old) on Stadium east of Providence.
Remember, only you can save the environment and car pool.

My parents always used to park in Greektown somewhere and walk
Nobody ever had a problem with that. Though with the crackdown on parking that may no longer be the case.

This is ridiculous
Reactor was smart because it kept the students contained, where do they think they are going to go now?
Well
The garages are contained…granted, you can’t grill everywhere, but it’s contained.
It’s not the best of deals, but there are a lot more people than students that the athletic dept. is concerned about. If you want to get your voices heard, forget a Facebook petition and get the 8000 odd students from buying season tickets. Money talks baby.

that seems a little extreme.
but it would make alden shit his pants

Not to mention
The students formed a committee with the Athletic Department and the University to try and work something out and then completely got blindsided by this.
Where’d you see that info on VAG? As a student that parks there, I want to make sure I have a spot there when I get back in town Sat. afternoon.
Virginia is open
As far as I can tell. The new one (James) that is across the street from the VA is $15.
As a former Grad Student who was on GPC (Graduate and Professional Council) and saw how things operate, it’s kinda funny that MSA thinks it actually has power.

theres a nice little lot behind Conley house
it’s free kinda far away though. DAMN!!!! may have just given away the perfect spot

ALSO...
On the TSF site it reads that if the situation warrants it, Dalton, Maryland, and “James” parking areas will be permit only. I haven’t seen anything like that happening, but I recall that University Halls’ lot got swooped up right before the first game, so it could still happen.

Our name for the new garage
A few friends and I decided to call the new parking structure the ASS (Area Seven Structure), since Mizzou already has a VAG (Virginia Ave. Garage).
A better map to refer to...
… is at http://www.mutigers.com/gameday/map-parking-campus.html.
Green lots are for the general public (and the ones without a “$” are completely free), blue lots are the garages (again, without the “$” is free), and the red lots are TSF/donor lots.
The “$” lots are $15 to park.
Looking at that parking map
Makes me realize just how far football has come since I set foot on campus in 1996.
As parking for free gets pushed out to the perimeter…and donor parking surrounds the arenas and the stadium.
Guess we’re big time now.
