between the Hump and Sanderson. Looks like some greenspace on the edges, but mostly paved. Anyone have any experience here?

Got put there 2 yrs ago after a foul-up by the BDC cost me my spot in lot 11. Trying to get back into my old lot. As far as it goes it's not too bad a lot for tail gating. Usually easy to get in before the game and usually lots of open spaces to set up a tail gate. leaving after the game is a complete cluster 17. Coliseum Blvd is one way going toward Collegeview St. There are only two access points into and out of for both lot 36 & 38, Lakeview Rd. is closed on game-days. If you don't want to leave any time soon after the game it's a pretty good lot.

I asked for a parking pass this year. Got call from MSU asking me to give them a call (general/vague message). I'll call tomorrow... Just wondering if the call was for a parking pass... or looking for a donation...</p>

depending on how the rent-a-traffic-cops are directing traffic. Its great if they allow you to come out of the lot and turn left by Sanderson and go out the 4 lane to 182. However, if they are forcing everyone to turn right into the bottleneck up by the Mize practice facility and out that way its really bad. And its seems for some strange reason they are directing traffic a different way every game.

The Thursday night games are terrible (thankfully we have none this year). I remember the LSU game... I backed out of my parking spot, got in line, and cut off the car for at least 45 minutes. What makes it bad is they route traffic different every game. So maybe you while sitting for 45 minutes you think - "hey, I'll go out that way next week". Well, next week comes and you park where you think it would be easier to get out and they've got the exit blocked.<div>
</div><div>I believe this would be considered the lowest level paid parking - only thing lower is the "pre-paid" pass that gets you into any of the gameday pay lots. But for tailgating there is normally plenty of area to set up. Maybe not a lot of greenspace (although there is some) so you may just want to set up in the parking lot. Naturally, most cars park in the first section directly between the hump & sanderson. So if you go down a section it gets much more sparse and there are plenty of open parking spots to set up. If you want to be away from the crowd of the junction and don't mind being in the parking lot, then this is a fine spot. That could change this year if they decide to allow more people to park there. </div>
