SUNY ESF Football Parking Pass

[BVille44]

With the Zone B lots selling quickly I decided to do some research and came across this information on the SUNY ESF website.

It appears SUNY ESF has a “special events” parking pass for use when there are events at the dome.

1. Special Event Passes are available for purchase through the SUNY ESF University Police Department at the price of $500.00 (five hundred dollars), inclusive of sales tax. All sales are final and non-refundable.
2. A request for an application for a Special Event Pass may be made to the SUNY ESF University Police Department, subject to availability. (email: parking@esf.edu) If the application is approved, a link for payment will be provided.
3. A Special Event Pass is valid for a period of one year, commencing August 1 and ending July 31 in the following calendar year.

It’s the best kept secret on the hill.

Assuming that you need to be an ESF Faculty / Student to be approved?

noticed this in the fine print

1. The following are prohibited on ESF campus:
   • consumption of alcohol,
   • use of tobacco products,
   • use of vaping products, and
   • consumption or use of cannabis.

I thought that was a prerequisite for all Forestry students.

I used to drive in to ESF at 8AM on game days when I was a student and park at Moon Library. We were not paying $500/yr for the privilege. Kinda looks like they figured out what was going on and figured out a way to get it better under control.

Don't think I've shared this before - my first weekend at Syracuse, my friends and I went out and started chatting with some SU girls. They asked what our majors were and immediately treated us like lepers when they found out we were ESF students. We moved on to a group of decent looking ESF girls who immediately treated us like lepers when they found out we were PSE majors. I spent my first week studying the courses and professors at Newhouse school so I could pass myself off as a communications major. One of my proudest moments in life was convincing a girl at a bar who was a communications major that I was in classes with her, using anecdotes I'd picked up along the way to convince her.

This is definitely not enforced, at least the alcohol portion. I've seen people drinking at their tailgates in the lot by the ESF quad plenty of times

Could deifnitely be an option for those shut out of West parking and if your also a bball or lax attendee it would make financial sense. However, I would be upfront with ESF that yoru not a student or professor and are looking strictly for parking. Last thing you want to do is pay $500 and then find out you need some sort of ESF ID to park there when the first game rolls around.

Last year I was able to buy one of the ESF "Special Event Parking Passes". When I reached out to my contact from last year she forwarded me on to the Chief of the ESF Police. He responded to me that he "has no information on any SEPP program going forward". It was a great to have, we used it for football, basketball and concerts too. Hopefully they bring these passes back around at dome point.

Ahh what a great pass, we had that when my mother was a faculty member. Especially clutch during hoops season. It was the closest parking on the hill

Not saying the Chief is wrong but this sounds like he may have bad info. You may want to reach out again as I find it hard to believe ESF is going to just abandon the parking pass plan after setting up those lots having that area paved etc not to mention how tight Parking is already in the West lots with SU apparently rolling back inventory.

Could it be though to reduce the traffic even further going to that area?

It used to be just for alumni or faculty a long time ago. Not sure if that has changed or not

Funny I thought that as I was typing up my original response. Certainly could be, still though wouldn't make much sense for ESF to abandon it fully. They either have other plans for the lots during their games or their way behind on getting these year set up.

Really? There are always going to be some people that act stuck up and elitist, but me and my friends were treated like cool nerds and we got offers to be tutors from our SU friends... especially in math and chem, which should have been your groove! Coeds needing to get through their gen ed courses seemed to respond very well to learning we were ESF. This was mid-2000s.

I would, however, recommend against trying to help SU lacrosse players trying to learn calc. Course materials had a tendency to go airborn without warning.

And if you were an LA student you spent all your nights in Marshall Hall studio. Class of 1975! Going back this fall for my 50th year reunion.
