Season Ticket Holder Parking is Changing

[TB Bulls]

Yeah, that's exactly it.  We live in T & C, so we just go east on Waters and make a right on Himes.  Cross over MLK and you're there.  It does seem more like a south lot issue .  Matter of fact, other than the spring games, I have never parked in the south lot.

Am I missing anything by not parking on the south side?  Never even really thought about it.  Where we usually end up is always a lively area.

Always had a parking pass until last year when we decided to save a few bucks per game.  But we really missed the peace of mind we had when we were running late and knowing that we were still going to be able to get a spot reasonably close.

Definately getting the pass this time.

will I pull up in with a parking pass and the average joe pays $10 and parks right next to me(I'm thinking 3 or 4 lot) or is there separation?

There is some separation between all lots, I think. It appears that Lot 3 will now be all season parking passes so there won't be any game day parking in thst lot if it works like the other reserved lots.

I am not sure, but I would like to know also.  Most of the time there was separation, but during the big games, we always seemed to find ourselves next to visiting fans.  And this was in the DONOR lots.  Hopefully, this system will work for everybody...

You will still find visiting fans in the donor lots for the same reason you find visiting fans in the seats of season ticket holders. The season tix holders will sell or give the parking passes away with their tickets.

Visiting fans in our donor sections sicken me.  they have been rude, crude and unacceptable

I understand everything that's been discussed, but darn this is confusing.  I don't really understand what the big deal is especially since it costs more to buy the pass.  Correct me if I'm wrong here, but usually don't you get a discount when you pay for something up front or in bulk?  I realize it helps the school, but I feel like we already give the school enough money.  We always park on the north side of the stadium anyways in what I guess is being called the student lot so these changes don't affect us I think.  Bottom line is all I care about is how much money is coming out of my wallet.  The less the better.   

Well, consider the parking passes are the better spaces -- closer to the stadium -- and you are guaranteed a specific lot -- virtually no matter what time you get to the stadium.

Those are "premiums" that make the parking passes worth a heck of a lot more.

I'm always able to park in the same general area (close to the stadium) without any problem.  Of course we usually get there early and tailgate.  Maybe the passes would be more of a premium for us if we showed up later.  Also, the people I tailgate with meet at my house and we all drive in together so that's not a problem either.  I'll stick with the cheaper option. 

last year i got my first season tix since graduating

this year i went from two to four and got tix in a donation area

looks like parking passes are for another year

It just seems like the South Lot has it all.  I've never parked in the North Lot.  The South makes you feel in the mix of everything, at least in my mind.  Plus you get the band playing right before you enter the stadium.  I live on the North side of Tampa, but I always go to the South Lot.  Maybe us 'older' alumni stay away from the North Lot.

I'm sure my free spot in the K-Mart parking lot will still be reserved.
