anyone else receive email about parking for next year?

[KellySyracuse]

We're down on Harrison and University for football, Harrison Garage for basketball. I will be seriously bummed out if we lose our tailgate lot we've been in for the past 7 years, we've got a good crew of folks we've met there and tailgate with.

Skytop and a shuttle for $15 still seems the best to me.

This is sounding more and more like a viable and sensible option.

There are maps at the back of the color brochure you should have received with your Orange Club membership renewal, that correlate your Donor level to parking lots you will be eligible to park in (BB and FB). The higher your Donor level the better the parking lot. It makes sense and is pretty much how most schools do it.

The line and Manley is usually a 1 bus or so wait. I have seen the line for Skytop be 30-40 min, but they have way more buses too.

I received no such membership renewal

I just talked to them and they said the notice was supposed to go out today but looks like tomorrow now (email and snail mail).

Application will be able to be completed electronically or snail mail.

Electronic should give you alternatives if you don’t qualify, donation wise, for your preferred spot. I would call if you prefer to snail mail it and they can tell you right away what lot you qualify for. My account rep Marina told me right away my standing

My rep told me my standing but said he couldn't give me where that lands me for parking

I think this refers to the Donor Playbook. Should have received an electronic copy via email about a month ago and an updated hard copy last week.

Yes, exactly. Pages 10-13

I just got the parking e-mail. It says that 130 parking spots in 3 lots will be offline next season due to construction (staging?), but the link doesn't show which lots.

EDIT: bad reading comprehension. Looking more closely, Hendricks Field and Q-2 lots will be closed. I can't find the third. 2019 Football Parking r3 (PDF) - Syracuse University Athletics

Thats where Ive been for years as well

Pyle, what time do you walk to queue up to catch the shuttle to make a 3:30pm kickoff for a well attended game and be in your seat for kickoff?

You have to judge this on a case by case basis but typically an hour get the job done. For games with an expected high attendance you are better off as I feel like they run more buses. I've waited in line longer for for lesser games.

For those considering I will list pros/cons:

Pros: Skytop has real bathrooms, you will walk less parking at Skytop and it's ALL flat including the walk across the quad, it's cheap, there is more room for tailgating as they are pretty lax about you taking up more than one spot as long as you don't try to park all the way up front, you can sneak beer onto the shuttle just don't try to bring an open container, lots of interaction with opposing fans - the LSU/Clemson fans are great to tailgate with.

Cons: Sometimes the lines can suck trying to get a shuttle and are even worse going back to skytop. the fine lot guys aren't there, there is no college campus feel at skytop since you can't see anything but big dirt mound and the track, they make everyone exit the back of the parking lot creating a very long line at times(But I've figured out how to beat that and exit near Manley).

Happy tailgating to all.

PS. Still in the market for an SU canopy if anyone sees them on sale this year.

Me as well, ours finally crapped out last year but she had a good run. One place we were checking said they would get them the 2nd quarter of the year, I think that was Walmart. I'll post any updates as I get them.

 

[Orangello]

I'll be goed to heel if I can find the place on the MyCuse account page where you can vote Yes or No to participate in the parking selection process by the donor lock date (5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15, 2019).

 

[dooey139]

Just got the parking email. More detail below:

I think it' the small DOME lot

 

[BVille44]

I will give the Orange Club credit the new Donor Rank page is very well done, easy to understand , and shows your ranking in real time.

Be sure to log into your Cuse Account and select “Yes” if you want to be part of the parking lot selection process.

I just saw that caption, that's what I was thinking of when I wrote Hendricks Field. I wonder if they forgot to tag the small lot between Archbold and Carnegie? Because it doesn't look like that's parking anymore.

 

[upperdeck]

there are way more than 130 free spots in the 2 manley lots, i dont think losing those spots is really going to change much for people in those lots.

Where do you vote ? I cannot find that on my page.

when i logged in it was the first thing it made me do.

The trouble is that they won't just move those parkers right to Manley. Instead they'll get bumped to Q-1, which will bump someone in Q-1 to Stadium, which will bump someone in that lot to Fine, and so on. so it's kind of a production.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I’m in Manley South. I really don’t want to get bumped to Skytop.

 

[upperdeck]

yeah.. I am just saying people in manley were worried a bit about being bumped..

 

[dooey139]

I do like that we will see what is available in each lot when we go in to make selections.
