Bees, then why can people manage to get around without adjacent parking every place else in the country?
 
Your language (herding onto a shuttle bus, 60-year-old people) reveals an odd disconnect with the way many people live.
 
You consider 60- and 70-year-olds to be old and incapable of walking or bus-riding? I don't know any 60-year-old who is old or too unfit to walk for 15 minutes. I truly can't fathom how an able-bodied 60-year-old could conduct his everyday affairs without that ability (unless, of course, he's actually disabled).
 
And millions of people just like you (and, in fact, much older than you) actually take buses and other forms of mass transit that are much more crowded than SU's Centro shuttles with regularity. There's no herding or cattle. The door opens, you get onto the bus with a crowd of other people, you get off. It's even easier in this case - you're all going to the same place so there's no need to fight your way through a crowd when your stop comes up.
 
I'm not saying there isn't a subset of handicapped people and truly elderly folks for whom getting to the Dome is a struggle. But that'd be the case whether they park in the Irving Garage or on Euclid. For the overwhelming majority of both Syracuse spectators and society, walking 15 minutes and/or riding a city bus isn't some incredible hardship.
