I'm one of those donors and I'm honestly pretty pissed about this. This and should have been shared prior to season ticket renewals.
I wouldn't say I am pissed but yeah we started donating to get a spot and that's not going to happen now. I know they say there won't be a significant number of spots lost long term but I just don't see it. I will happily eat crow but there just does not seem to be enough space for what they are doing and not taking up spots.

Be interesting to see the numbers in the RV lot this year. I think we need some more car parking close to bring back the atmosphere.

What's frustrating is those S lots are never even close to full.

So when it's States turn to pick A3, B3, and C3 will be off limits even if they aren't sold out right?

Historically, this graphic was just a guideline. If spots were open in a lot higher than your donor level you could pick them.

I would put the chances of getting in one of those lots pretty darn close to zero. I'm towards the middle of States and have been able to bump up 1 level in the past but never 2.

Edit: also noticed that the tweet says assignments not selections.
How do you know already know you wont get a spot? Did they let you know?

And remember the parking eventually all switches to head-in straight, no more diagonal.

Not exactly sure.

So those islands will be gone? I really hope a crew cab long box doesn’t park behind me. That would make it impossible to get out if you don’t have a compact vehicle.

I was able to the last couple of years. It's all based on demand. They aren't going to leave empty spaces in parking lots much like they won't leave empty seats.

I think I'm like 444 in the States level. I've donated for several years but this is the first year I've tried to get a parking pass. We've tailgated in the grass lots with family who don't donate so it wasn't worth the hassle. I have zero interest in a vet med pas so if I can't get in the lots up by Hilton then I guess grass lots it is.
