Lot 14 Closed, Other Options?

[USFishin]

So we went to the HCC lot around 2:30.  We were there for about 10 minutes and started to get set up and got kicked out by a guy saying that the lot doesn't open until 4 and we had to leave.  We ended up at a private grass lot at someone's house.  Still looking for a good private lot that is preferably paved.

Bull backers lot is a good lot and still an option. Sorry this is late for you

Wish I would a read this yesterday was definitely lost finding out our lot was closed today :/

I first became aware of this back when season ticket and parking renewals were sent out. When I saw that lot 14 wasn't on the list of "cash overflow areas", I called and was confirmed that it was closed. Five months later we were still hoping that it would be open. Then the official tweet came out late Friday night to dash those dreams.

The backup plan was to go to HCC and then we were turned away because they didn't open until 4pm. We ended up in lot 8/10 which was horrible. You are flagged to your spot, grass lot, mud due to the recent rain and a lot of our folks had ant bites. More than 2/3 of our group were spread out in different lots. It was miserable considering what we were used to in lot 14. We want paved lots and plenty of room to tailgate and throw a football. I plan on calling RJS this week to see if HCC opening 3 hours before kickoff is standard. On their site it's listed under "5 hours before kickoff."

Been at lot 14 since '01. Sad tailgating day yesterday.... That's for sure.

Call, email, or tweet Harlan. He seriously will probably do something for you.

I ended up in the therapy center parking lot a couple blocks down from the old paved lot, set up a decent tailgate too, corner of himes and woodlawn basically, just before you get to the WFTS ABC building

Was it the parking lot that has lab corp and a bank (Iberia bank)?

If so, how much was parking and at what time did they allow people to start parking? Thanks.

Bump, now that it's a home game week again!

[USFan]

Bump again. Will try HCC again today.

Beefy620, would you mind sharing where exactly did you park? Thanks!

If anyone cares, HCC is now opened 5 hours before. The parking guys said that it opened 5 hours today and is expecting to stay that way due to all the complaints from people regarding the closure of lot 14. 

So for those that complained. Thank you!!!
