Is gameday parking really $30?

[shields]

Went to game could not believe it. Thought it was like 10 dollars a few years ago.

I have season tix and park in APC so god knows how much I'm really paying but $30 game day parking for a college basketball game is one of the most insane things I've ever heard. That is freaking crazy. This is not one of 8 NFL homes games or the Yankees in NYC or something. Jesus Christ.

Thank you Colonel.

[rob kight]

Never a wait coming in from the east side (either Cedar Lane or by the DMV) and parking is still free where I park, lol.

Shh. Seriously.

 

[MLBash93]

That’s crazy.

I’d like to see a more targeted approach here. Cheaper for NJ residents, alum and season ticket holders.

Gouge the rest.

If you get parking with your season tickets - it wasn't 30 a game

They need to fix the Suttons lane entrance, tonight was Trenton all over again. It was great last year. I guess it's down to fewer attendants? Will have to try something else Sunday I guess.

LOL…the numbnuts working the parking get paid $25 per hour?

 

[RU from Jersey_rivals]

That is $15 per hour for a college basketball game. Crazy!

 

[ScarletDog]

I went to a Virginia Tech game last year...packed house. $0 for parking. We're getting futbukked....or maybe just the RU Screw.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

That’s absurd

 

[Saint Puppy]

Holy price gouging - just obnoxious!

$275 for Yellow Lot

 

[wheezer]

I came into the green lot from ave E
About 45 minutes before tipoff with basically no traffic

Go back to the CE board.

You’re not wrong…game day tickets for the women’s team: $20…so assuming this an RU wide parking price for all events at JMs, parking costs more than the game? LOL

 

[Njbound1]

Parking was a disaster today. So we are paying more for less attendants and less parking ingress points open. That was completely ridiculous . Who is in charge of game day parking because it was a disgrace

Worst I’ve ever seen it. Ridiculous set-up.

Parking is free for womens games

 

[Rhuarc]

Bigger problem is the need to get the f'n cop out of his car to actually run the traffic light to control the flow of traffic better.

I was shocked at the 30 bucks a game figure as well. They needed to promote that increase so the loyal season ticket holder could buy parking passes instead of going game by game in the past.

I have a yellow lot pass and use the back way in, for the record. I'm just pissed for the other fans.

 

[fatsam98]

They had a guy on Suttons at Hospital Road not letting people in if there was any kind of line on Hospital. So we had to go down and make the right on Rockefeller instead and merge with the people coming the other way on Suttons.

Stop doing that and things would have been much better.

I don't get it though, last year was great in terms of parking efficiency. Why would they change anything?

For reference I was at the South Randolphville/Metlars light by 6:15 and missed the first 3 minutes of the game.

It was nice seeing you at the game.You are a great Rutgers fan.

Well that sounds even dumber! Paying nfl prices for the men’s games and nothing for the poorly attended women’s games is just bad business

 

[S_Janowski]

$30 a game is very steep….especially for the non conference games. This is the same price as some of the colored football lots on Busch….where you actually get to tailgate and enjoy the spot.

These are the games for the casual fan or the families - shame on Rutgers for charging $30 for games against the likes of Boston U, Howard etc.

 

[RUJMM78]

This is what happens at small arenas where parking is a easy way to generate additional income.

 

[toby83]

Hahahah

 

[BillyC80]

They should charge $50 and play the game in the parking lot so we can watch from our cars. Easy fix.

 

[RobotHunter]

Bidenomics

Make RU basketball parking affordable again.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Syracuse is 30. Duke 25. SHU 20. Maryland 25.

A bit pricier then some but not insane

Parking for all events at Jadwin Gym is in Stadium Drive Garage. Parking is free of charge during events.Aug 9, 2022

 

[dfr1966]

Hahahah

Why is that funny?

 

[newell138]

Go back to the CE board.

truth hurts

 

[80RU]

This is what I was about to say. It appears that they get zero training. There are some basic standard positions and movements to direct traffic. These guys seem to be waving their arms around randomly. And some of those in the parking lot last night didn’t even have a flashlight. it was easy for me to get it in because I have green parking and I got there early. But getting out, when I had to go out the back way with the yellow traffic to drop someone off, it was ridiculous. I worked in the parking lot sometimes in the late 70s and they made sure that we knew the standard police signs for directing traffic and that we all did it the same.

 

[365Poster24Seven]

Prudie is a pro arena with ameneties

This guy does most of his BS recaps from in front of a television set. Def not a season ticket holder and his complaining yet again about something proves it. If you spent more time working and not on social media maybe you can afford season tickets.

 

[dfr1966]

truth hurts

Maybe in your mind. But the "truth" is that your post is political and does not belong on a basketball board. So go back to the CE board with this crap.

Since the vast majority of alums and so called die hards donate squat but want 4 and 5 stars coming to Rutgers the administration has to find a way to pay the bills. These weekly threads prove we have the cheapest fanbase in the universe.

 

[ru66]

Raising price 50% in one year

Yes $30 is way too much for a college game especially with this non conference schedule

You can always just stay home--nothings cheap these days but some fans just can't accept the fact the school needs $. ***** and moan about everything when the real answer/help is to give like other top schools fans give.
