Parking???

[jne381]

Has anyone heard anything yet? I know they sent out a thing last week to rank your choices, but I have not heard anything yet. Did I get parking? Who knows. They have not said when we would know.

Are there any changes in Wilmette neighborhood parking ordinances? We usually parked several blocks north and walked down.

Are talking about loft club parking? If so, check your ticket account. They should be there.

Dowload the New Ryan Field app. It has an abundance of parking options listed.

I just found out I got hospital lot. I’m so pissed. 20 consecutive years, letter winner, loft club donation. I swear my ticket rep said we were guaranteed a tailgate lot. Their operations needs to be fixed, this is so frustrating.

I am in the Hospital lot as well. Not for nothing, but I feel like the hospital lot is half way back to campus, and there is no tailgating. I also see they are now charging to park at the lot on campus (which made sense while the stadium was under construction), but seems crummy now.

I live in Wilmette, so I'll just park and walk. What tier of ticket did you get?

I don't know that my tickets had a tier, they weren't the cheapest, but they were on the lower end.

Tiers? When I paid for the tickets I shed a few tears. Does that count?

Welcome to the brave new world of NIL.

Pretty sure if you park 5-6 blocks away in Evanston you can get free street parking…

I made Hospital Garage my #1 after seeing East/West/Isa Lots were $500+. I got the North Garage, which, honestly, I don't even think I ranked. 20+ years STH.

I don't need the ~20 hours they're giving me to decide. I'm declining, will just take my chances. Not paying over $50 per game to park and take a school bus each way.

Gotta be honest...parking was really the only thing that incentivizes overpaying for season tickets. I strongly suspect buying every game from the secondary market next season will yield enough savings to take an Uber Black to/from every game. If this is the business relationship we now have, so be it.

Did you reach out? Still haven’t gotten anything…10+ years. Donor. No info.

I just replied to the email and told them no thanks, and to let me know if enough people decline the hospital garage to let me upgrade. At this point I'm not personally worried about tailgating given how much they've built out the grounds around the stadium, but I'm not interested in paying double what we used to at the golf course to now park on campus and take the school bus.

In fairness to the school...I get it. The loss of the golf course coupled with them prioritizing parking for premium/club members who effectively bought a higher place in line have bumped some of us down. It stings for me because I was ready to go for the loft club but the afforable seats in the club were sold out by the time I got in, and then I figured I'd at least catch a break on the cost of non-club seats but the drop was only $25 per game...so now I'm out of the club, lost my parking, and I'm still paying significantly more than I once did.

I know some people will read this and roll their eyes, and that's fine, but our hardcore fan base is small...and yet this has been my experience, and I know I'm not the only one here shell shocked with their parking assignment that we got ~50 hours before kickoff.

25 year STH and I bought Loft Club Seats. They assigned me hospital garage. I declined.

welp let's hope I'm high enough in the line to get your space!

Geez, it almost sounds like they're treating all of you like students, circa 1984.

Wlcome to the club. A number of us have been 30 year plus and found ourselves in N Garage after being told something similar

And people think I was the only one upset,
