Parking

[coachplayznoD]

With an expected championship game in a few weeks and a sold out crowd, I would encourage the athletic department to think about the parking situation. With the frigid weather finally here, the department should think about running shuttle buses from the parking lots that are of distance so that people do not freeeze. Just another way to make going to a game fan and family friendly.

I agree!! I have a parking pass but every time we pass the free parking area I say to my wife they should have a shuttle. It is not a long walk but for the elderly and young who come to an occasional game it is a real negative.

Walking is great exercise no matter what your age. I found the walk last night and for every game that I am able to attend to be invigorating. Just thought I'd throw in an opposing view.

Thanks for your view. I agree that walking is good, especially for us dietetically-challenged.

 

The one problem I have with parking at a long distance is the frequent ice found on the walkways. Being well-insulated, I don't mind the cold and wind much, but I'll bet others do.

Not to mention that when that when I traveled from LI for the BPG the last thing I and and anyone else wanted to do was walk back to that lot in the freezing rain, actually got sick from it, but for the team it was well worth it!

This is such an old problem. It reminds me of the days of parking in the Colonial "Pit" when I was an undergrad!

 

Parking on campus in general is a nightmare. It is especially true for the athletics facilities!

 

Hopefully the "Master Plan" will be addressing some of these issues!

 

SIGN BROWN NOW!

 

SSS (and so does parking on campus)

If you think parking at SUNY is bad try St. Rose

AMEN!! When we played LIU we parked in the Brubacher parking lot which took my wife and I back almost 50 years when a car was a dream and we walked every where. In those days a walk to the Washington Ave. Armory, Palace, Strand and Eagle theatres were short, safe walks for the coeds.

While a walk from the Dutch lot isn't too bad if it's lit, shoveled, and not raining, if the crowds stay over 3,500 they'll have to do something about the extremely limited handicapped parking around the RACC.
