2024 Seating Changes

[bnoro]

Someone I know (not me) got tickets this morning. Previously had seats in the lower bowl in the east endzone which is for students now. Was able to get 2 seats in the 100 level around the 10 yard line on the home side. He's somewhat satisfied. He used to have 4 seats. He'd previously been told that if he only bought 2 he'd get a refund for the deposit for the other 2. Now they're telling him the refund is up to management's discretion. Also, all spots in both the Raynor and West parking are gone. His rep confirmed that. (His rep told him 2 days ago he wouldn't have a problem getting parking there when it was his time this morning. He couldn't.) He also said that he saw there were seats in the 200s still available.

Refunds are always up to management's discretion. It'll probably be approved but a rep will never have that level of autonomy.

The parking thing seems odd. As a rep myself, I'd never talk in guarantees about specific locations unless I was holding them. It seems like he was speaking about parking in general rather than specific lots based on what you've posted?

Thanks. I believe he was referring specifically about the West parking areas when the Rep told my friend he'd be able to get them. As others have mentioned maybe they have cut down on the number available. And my friend is getting the refund.

This is very very peculiar and could be a major major issue for the tailgate

Could it be a huge surge in people buying parking who never did before?

It could be a different issue again next year as the parking is tied to your donor level and not to just renewing your seats.. We might have people who jumped way up to pick seats why grabbed parking who then next year revert back to normal donor levels. Or it could be how many people bumped up seats and were able to grab more than 1 permit who never could before.

Its too bad parking is not renewed like seats in some aspects.

I just hope these parking passes and seats get used. I know the process had to go down and that some people were always going to be unhappy, but it will be very aggravating to be displaced (I know it isn’t the correct term) and look across the dome at empty seats where we used to sit. But at least SU got their cash grab.

 

[JeremyCuse]

They may have reduced the number of passes they issue for West parking. I usually park in Standart, and there are a lot more student vehicles parked there on game days than there used to be. There have been a couple games where people with passes were being turned away near game time because the lot was full. If we actually get good again, that may be a larger problem than it used to be.

With all the students in Lawrinson and Centennial using that lot, the university either has to start enforcing game day parking restrictions for highly attended games, or issue fewer passes. They may have made the second choice.

YOu could be right because West lot parking lasted pretty much the entire parking process last year and I can't imagine that many new passes moved this year. Hoping we get some clarification from SU because something is certainly up with the entire west parking area and Raynor sold out already.

 

[UpstateSM]

Skytop is the move

 

[310Pigpen]

Hopefully UNVN or UNVS doesn’t sell out before my date.

Pinpoint correct. Would be an awful thing if seats and parking got jacked from so many diehards bc of the process. Really hope if ppl who got ahead in line bc of the system, damn well better plan on sticking with it like all of us have for literally decades.

Come on down to Manley South!

Wow. Glad I was able to get my parking pass when I did. Can’t believe it is sold out after previous assurances that there would be plenty available.
The whole thing stinks

 

[David321]

Man I remember the huge thread about West lot a couple years ago when they were redoing it or something, lots of anxious people then.

That turned out to be no big deal though, who would have thought this was the actual event that they feared then?

 

[CuseAlum07]

So an update…we were told by our ticket rep today that essentially because construction is going on in other places by campus where larger donors often park, those donors have taken the next closest..which were Raynor and West… who knows so disappointed as those we tailgate with already have their Ray Lot parking passes and we are SOL…. Fingers crossed we get decent seats tomorrow (Friday) at our time

 

[JRHEETER]

People will be more mad about not getting their parking than they will be about not getting their seats.

This is a MASSIVE issue for the university as there are A LOT of people that normally get West lot passes or Raynor passes that will no longer be getting them.

Not good at all

If I had to choose between my old seats or a pass to one of the lots on University I’d choose the parking pass. I didn’t think there’d be a chance that I’d lose both. I’ll be extremely disappointed if I have to move to Manley or Skytop.

So maybe this is a one year situation?

Manley North (now COML) is awesome. We got displaced from the Marshall lot 20 or more some odd years ago when Cantor razed it in construction. Been with the NMAN family ever since. Best. Displacement. Ever. Most years tailgating there has been the best part of going to games when we have been mediocre to bad most the time. Anyone who gets displaced from West, come join the NMAN fam. You won't leave hungry or dissapointed.

No

 

[storange]

I have free parking all season. ( and needed exercise for a .7 mile walk up hill , win win)

I definitely will be if nothings available for Area C when my day comes. I’ve always loved being on University for tailgating. Short 10 minute walk up the hill and easy walk down after. Varsity is close by if I don’t feel like grilling or bringing the grill that particular week. It’s the only place I’ve tailgated for the past 10 years so I’m hesitant to change.

 

[Consigliere]

Don’t think the A level lots being unavailable is the entire answer. Those are small lots with less than 50 spaces. We had a season ticket holder with a donor rank in the mid 2000s closed out of West yesterday when in previous years fans with a rank more than 1000 spots lower have not had an issue.

This will create a serious challenge that could jeopardize our SyraCRUZ tailgate as we have several core chefs and equipment transporters who will not be able to get in the lot on game days.

And it’s going to trickle down to people like me. Certainly didn’t have this on my bingo card

COML is awful. People should stay away. And there is only 2 potties.

You don't let out the secret. What is wrong with you?
