Depends on financing and all, but in past work I've been a part of, subgrade parking runs at least $40,000 per space. Often quite a bit more than that. Both Manley lots are used year-round, but employees pay very little for a space (low hundreds for the year).
 
I can't imagine how SU would recoup an investment in structured parking on the property, especially when it's a three-minute shuttle ride from several thousand free spaces at Skytop (which aren't even paved - they just require an occasional plowing).
 
In the long-term, I'd favor structured parking (in the new football building and all West Campus buildings). They might regret these decisions 20 years down the line, when space is at more of a premium. If they ever got with the 21st century and developed a transportation management plan and stopped heavily subsidizing employee parking, they could probably justify the expense. For now, I can understand why they don't want to pay for it.
