Parking services........

Conversation with me and a parking services attendant at the entrance to the Sanderson Center parking lot:

Me: Why is the lot blocked off?
Attendant: The lot is full!
Me: But I see 7 empty spaces on that one row!
Attendant: Man, I'm sorry but the lot is full!
Me: But look right there!
Attendant: Sorry, it's full!

After parking near Ruby Hall and walking past the Sanderson Center lot, my kids quit counting at 37 empty spaces in the Full lot!

They used

to disallow it because it was reserved for students using the Sanderson.

Saving spots for his buddies or VIPs I suppose.

My favorite parking memory - Last home basketball game either last year or the year before. Raining at night, I arrive 5-10 minutes after tipoff, there's about 10 cars in the reserved parking lot by the Sanderson, got two young kids and my wife, and they won't let me park there because I don't have a pass.

There may have been 500 people in the hump. I mean, I understand enforcing rules and all but they should have been paying me to come to that game.

We must have been at same game. I got there a few minutes after tipoff. It was a monsoon.

The side lot toward Architecture had 9 cars in it. I counted. The sentry had no mercy. The lot toward Sanderson had maybe 50 cars. No admittance was allowed my vehicle. I even begged.

Gosh I understand rules but at some point good sense has to enter the picture.

My solution. I happen to carry a handicap pass for my elderly dad. I circled back around and waved the pass. I was waved right in. No I did not take a handicap spot but I did use it to get in lot and secure one of the 2000 vacant spots.

Sanderson Center open every Sunday 2:00 - 11:00, got to have parking places for members is my guess

I'm afraid that "common sense" has completely disappeared.
