Season Parking Manley vs Sky Top

[David321]

As someone who will be very low on the donor list, these are probably our two choices. We’ve parked at the elementary school, and have parked in West, but neither of these. Rather than arbitrarily choosing one or the other, what are the pros and cons between the two?

Tailgating scene isn’t really that important, as the wife and I like just hanging out with each other before games. We’re more focused on rest rooms, walking and or shuttle bus, ease of entry and exiting, things like that.

You'll be out of the Manley parking lot in 5 minutes.

This is actually really helpful as this is one of the biggest factors, so thank you.

I live about 5 minutes from Manley, I'm usually home approx 30-40 minutes after the football game ends.

I had times where I was out of S. manley in minutes and times where it took over an hour.. the advantage of Manley is when a game is tight and everyone leaves at the same time its quicker to walk back than wait for a bus..

I removed the issue completely by parking at My Olympia now.. Fall down the hill to the quad pre-game if you want in 3-4 min.. the only issue is sometimes they over booked but they were much better this year at dealing with parents and visitors in that lot..

Don't you need a season pass for Manley? I've been parking at Skytop because I can just pay my $20 when I get there. If I skip a game or two, I don't feel like I've lost the money at Manley.

yes Manley is ST spot.

If you are in Manley North and don't mind walking then you don't have to worry about buses. There are porta potties and the academic building is usually open for rest rooms. Plus if you park near Melo you often see BBall players coming and going.

You do not need a pass for North Manley anymore. Been a few years now

If you want to be closer to campus, Comstock Ave. Garage (CAG), it was Booth Garage has game day spots. You can get a season ticket or just pay for each game. I don't think all the spots are used for season parking passes. It's an easy walk.

so now its a season pass and they sell one offs in that lot? interesting. i would think the new construction planned in south manley area is gonna tie up some of that lot as well to move some people

Do the frats/sororities on Walnut still allow for parking? That was always an easy option back in the day.

Correct. For the last 3 years, you can buy a season pass or just pay at the lot per game. North Manley is mostly empty which makes me sad to even type. I hope every year that it changes.
