LCM2LU Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Anyone know about the parking spots for tailgating? Are they on sale yet, and if not when? I don't want to miss out this year as last year I was SOL and not only had to park in the senior section, but couldn't tailgate out there.
Ruckdad Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 I was told they were sold out of parking spaces.

LCM2LU Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 That's correct. I called the ticket office and they told me they were basically sold out from last year. That really sucks. So basically if you didn't get one the first year, you might never get the opportunity to buy one until they open up more lots for sale. That's quite a buzzkill for an alumni who didn't get the chance to tailgate last year. I was really looking forward to it. I think with all the money they'd make from selling more lots as tailgating sections, it'd be worth the added cost of providing security. So add this into the already horrible problem of the parking shortage on campus.

There is not that much available room to add new parking lots anywhere near the stadium. Their best option would be to go "Big School" with the addition of a couple of parking garages to save space while still creating parking options... That's what all universities do now.. And Lamar IMO has no other option to address the need of parking.

As long as the people are standing in line to pay for it there is no reason people cant tailgate all over the place. Similar to UT tailgates that go on in lots all over downtown for blocks away from the stadium.

If you notice, UT's tailgate areas are off campus, so the city cleans it up. On campus would be LU's workers.
