Just wondering if anyone else had trouble finding a parking spot in their assigned parking area today. I got here nearly an hour before the tipoff and might have gotten the last spot in C3. I am hoping this was just because it was a weekday game and students were using the lot. CY town has really messed up the parking in my opinion.

Yes. Same issue. There was no one checking passes.

I was surprised how full the lots were when we rolled in around 10, C3 was full, and we ended up parking all the way to the South. As we were walking up we must have seen 3 vehicles with C3 parking hanging down from the mirror unable to park. Had to be commuters, the vehicles were too nice for college kids.

Pretty good guess that based on the attendance of previous 11am games that they knew parking wouldn’t be an issue. Especially with such a high percentage of attendees coming in for field trip day on buses. Mix that with the chaos that would come from moving all of the commuter traffic would and it was probably a no brainer.

Now, not communicating that is an issue when people had passes, they should have the expectation they are going to be able to park there.

I was expecting a disaster when it came to men's parking tonight. I don't have my parking pass yet, so was parking in the public lots. Parking was a breeze and exiting was easy.
Agree, but I was surprised there was no one directing traffic before the game. Backups on University were some of the worst I've been in on basketball nights which was weird considering it was not a sellout.
