Rivers Street has, effectively, been $500 for several years. Likewise, Liberry has been $250 for a number of years. Several folks have requested to keep their Liberry passes even though, through either points or current donations, they would otherwise park in Rivers Street. Stadium has been $2,500 for a few years as well.

There's still a significant supply and demand component to parking spaces. For example, we could say that Stadium is $5,000. That would not necessarily create nearly 600 $5,000 donors to fill that lot.

The best deal is still the young alum parking on University Dr by Durham Park. If you graduated five or fewer years ago, you qualify for the young alum program.

I anticipate a little less flexibility with parking in future years as our fan base grows and Yosef automates the parking assignment and ticket assignment process. When we'll get to that automation is not something I know. I just know that as the fan base grows, the manual processes we've used for years are not the most efficient. Maybe this year, we'll get professionally packaged tickets, parking passes, etc. rather than volunteer packed packages????

If you can get on the top, Liberry Deck is the best deal in sports.

I wish they would offer numbered parking up there. I would switch from Raley.

I hope they don't make parking-giving automatic when automation comes on board. I qualify for Raley but would rather stay in Greenwood since I am not a tailgater and do not wish to fight the crowd getting into Raley 2 hours before the game.

Our son and his wife are the same way. With small children, Greenwood is a much better option for them.

Personally, I'm still enjoying Stadium and hope to be able to stay there for a few more years.

Daph, We be the Liberry guys who decline the upgrades....I am hopeful they actually bump someone up! There will come a time that we won't tailgate like we do now....but I do not know when that hAPPens. "WE" love the Liberry Deck and it has become a destination for about 12 families now. AS you are more connected than most of us if you hear of a numbering system for Liberry I'd love to know about that so I can advocate. A couple of us are assigned to Greenwood and I just can't see parking there when the Liberry Deck is available.

There have been a lot of relationships "birthed" there.....we went from 2-3 families in '09 '10 to 12+ families today! and ALL of them have joined the YOSEF because of the relationship....it might not be much in the whole scheme but it is something!

Thanks for all you do!

Max!
