I haven't been to a game in a few years. Could anyone give any insight to the best places to park for a game? I've heard Spring Street was a good place as well as a couple of church parking lots in the area.

Any information would be appreciated.. thanks.

I come from Louisville but I take the airport exit off 64 and just take Newtown Pike in. Make a left on Broadway and there is a Salvation Army right there. It's cheaper than the rest and I would rather give them my money. Also, if you go around back they have an exit right there so you can get out really, really easy. Just a matter of making a right turn and waiting 1 light and you are gone.

Thanks Glenn.. that sounds like what I'm looking for. I'm trying to stay out of the large parking lot in front of Rupp.

One problem. I said Broadway but meant Main. It is a good place to park though. Tell them you want to go around to the back even if they want you to park up front. They'll let you.

I usually park at the funeral home about two blocks away. It is only $10 instead of $18, plus I can use the exercise.

Wow.. didn't think there would be any free spots. Thanks maniac! I'm sure those are gone quickly.

Wish the weather was going to be better on Saturday. Looks like it's going to be nasty.

If you park at the Salvation Army remember to use Lexington Center as soon as you can walk in the hall. The doors should be open on a Saturday. Not so much during the week.

Use valet at the Hyatt. If you want to survive in the Paddock, you'll need to learn to pay top dollar for convenience.
