2025 West Lot/Selection date and times UPDATED

yea I find it hard to believe it's anything but inventory levels going down. It's never been an issue till last year and this year has gotten worse.

I worry that more of those lots will be gone before long given other priorities and the fact that most other schools don't have such convenient parking options...so they're going to say, tough luck, park on south and tailgate there.
If they're going to drive more people to Manley and Skytop they'll definitely need a smoother and improved bus system. It's brutal getting out of the Dome.

If you're not a regular tailgater and can walk without issue easiest thing is to park on a side street down Euclid and hoof it.

agree. they could very easily shut off some streets and make it a dedicated shuttle run.
 
Honestly making people renew their season tickets without letting them renew their parking pass is really bad business.

Not figuring something out with ESF is inexcusable especially given how limited inventory seems over on that side of the dome

Gonna have a lot of long time season ticket holders having to park and ride from Manley and skytop and that just sucks
 
they have a few issues going on
1) loss of inventory
2) letting people buy multiple passes
3) not letting people auto renew anymore
4) rewarding of recent money vs longevity in how the levels work is skewed a bit

when you have people who have had tickets/passes for 30+ yrs get jumped over because someone buys 5-6 nice seats or donates a few hundred the system is kinda broken. They are not really rewarding people who stuck around during the down years at all.

They should have just auto renewed people using the pt system for parking and not allowed all the newbies to jump to the front so easily. then you figure out the spots lost and how to deal with that.

The way its working now it sounds like anyone below the top 2-3 tiers is going to be lucky to find any spots at all.

I wonder if they even considered the fact that having tickets for x number of years and not buying parking that those people would be crushing so many long time parkers if those people suddenly decided to buy

If nothing else they should have saved some passes for people who lost out in a lottery or something,

Its the perk of donating I guess, I dont see at my level that paying a thousand to jump levels makes sense to get a parking pass that may not exist when my number is called anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me that going digital is a big cause of the issue going forward. Why not buy 2 when selling is so easy now. Still that doesn't explain the West lot going so fast. But if you have the means to buy nice seats you go up the pecking order, then you can buy additional passes and people in those same lots get locked out and raise the value of your own passes. Even if 10% of people who can, now by their 2 passes that's a ton of inventory gone. But what if it's even higher than that doing it?

I don’t get the “allowing people to buy xtra passes”. I’ve never heard of anyone being allowed that. They allow more than 1 pass if you have a certain number of seats. That’s only fair. I have 6 seasons. Have for years. 6 allows me 2 parking passes. It only makes sense. We’re not car pooling everyone or me being a taxi driver. If you think SU should allow only 1 parking pass regardless of how many season tix you have, you might lose STHs which is worth a hell of a lot more than a $250 pass.

While I agree in principle with the auto renew method, here’s the problem. What happens when a donor comes along, wants to buy 4 A level seats and donates an extra $10k, or more, to become part of the legends society. Where does he park? Manley and takes the shuttle?

I wouldn’t have renewed my season tickets if I knew I’d be shut out of parking. I’m going to call my rep Monday and tell him I’m done buying season tickets and giving money to the school.

Realistically, how often does that happen?

I’m sure a lot of people are feeling this way. Me included. There is a major reason I need parking close to the dome.
 
Sounds like I’ll be bumped to Manley. Have tailgated around University Ave for a decade and won’t be this upcoming season. Pretty bummed.

Probably more than we think. They are always pushing the legends society and membership keeps growing. Plus not all donors are going to be in legends but will donate significant.

many places have parking issues. a pass is a perk. if you want two then up the anti if its a money grab. I had 8 tickets for 20 yrs and was never allowed 2 passes at Manley. we survived. they are selling out but also losing the base who kept the lights on for years.

Maybe that’s who you figure out the ESF lot for. I get it. It’s all money. But that still is a hard pill to swallow

“Hey i know you’ve supported us non stop for decades but this rich guy likes the team this year so he’s gonna take your parking spot”

You don’t survive when you’ve been hanging with a group of 30-40 people for 10-15 years in a tailgate that draws 150 people.
 
I am furious. They never fixed my donation issue. I am still relegated to a date much later than I should have. Apparently everything is gone. I am not taking a stupid shuttle from south.

I will not donate again and I will pay to park off campus and walk

There are so many more things I want to say bit wont disrespect this board by doing so
 
Not knowing numbers but it feels like 500+ spots went away or got bought in just these 3 days. that were never gone before. How much inventory went down vs how many new people bought passes? sounds like a story for the paper.

I mean considering what we are hearing here , my donor ranking would need to improve by 4000 spots to have kept the lot i was in for the last 4-5 years, that would mean my spot would be $3-400 a game at that point.

The next step should be for them to bump up parking prices if demand is this high. Double it I guess.
 
I probably won’t be around when Micron is in full force, but tickets and parking will be next to impossible to get.

you can put the high roller in what ever lot they want and you go by pt system to adjust whoever gets knocked out. They are free to take my seat anytime they want no different than parking. How many new high paying people are showing up each year anyway?

Adjusting 1-2-3 people vs the hundreds who are getting kicked out now is small potatoes
 
I agree, this really stinks. We didn’t have this problem when GROB was running the show!!

Lol, I remember one year during Grob or early Marrone you could get a parking pass at anytime literally like mate August. Didn't know how good we had it, lmao.
