parking

[mikeymo85]

it is time for my annual plea for a parking pass. If anyone gets the opportunity to get an additional pass, please say yes.
I will pay you for it(face value because there is no scalping on udpride). I will make arrangements to buy you many of your beverage of choice
I have two 200 level tickets which are part of a 4 pack that comes with 1 parking pass. I do not get use of the pass in our deal.
I have also tried for years to buy one from the arena.
I am not in any way physically handicapped, but my wife refuses to ride the shuttle ever again. Thanks

If you always have exclusive use of the tickets, ask the holder of record if he/she would consider signing them over to you. It would be a free transfer if you are a relative and small fee if not. I did that when my son moved to Oakwood from Huber Heights and couldn't ride with me and our other family members, using my pass. He then was able to get his own parking pass, since the tickets were in his name. He shares the other ticket with his cousin, who still rides with the rest of us on my pass.

thanks for the advice, but the owner of the other two tickets uses the parking pass at the games. We live in opposite ends on the county which makes it almost impossible for the four of us to ride together. He is the one who has the four tickets together. I buy two from him every year. I pay seat license to UD and ticket cost to him.

on second reading of 66 flyer post, I see that what he proposes might work. What do you think the small fee would be because we are not family?

Try meeting at the hotel on Dryden road and carpool the rest of the way in. Traffic is lighter coming in from there.

You didn't mention this, but have you pestered the owner of the seats to get you a pass?

I have 4 seats with two parking passes. I have 2 other seats that are part of a company and they are issued multiple passes.

Just saying...you may have a heck of a time on your own getting a pass, but a season ticket holder, like your partner, should be able to score another one,.

I contacted the ticket office trying to get an additional parking pass for my 4 seat package due to the fact that one of my sons who has been going to games with me for years is now grown and lives north of Dayton while I live in Cincinnati and sharing one pass just isn't working for us but they told me that isn't possible - 1 pass per 4 ticket package is the policy. Aren't there any open parking lots somewhere around the arena? Is D lot pass or cash or ? Never parked there.

D lot is pass only

Ever since the *****ing about parking started a decade or so ago, I have paid close attention as a couple games per year I would have commitments with my kids or work, and might not arrive until the first TV time out. C lot frequently has 100 plus empty spots per game. D lot always has at least a couple hundred empty spots even on sold out games. Frustrating that UD does not utilize the lots they have better.

Curious - any know what do they do with new season ticket packages? No parking pass?

I remember reading that those new premium club seats $3,500 seat license were going to a premium parking. So A, B, C lots are going to be shrinking.

This is the reason they will not sell or provide more parking passes. They want us to split the tickets into two sets of two. Now I would be a new season ticket holder, BUT to get to keep my 200 level seats and get a parking pass, I need to make the required contribution to be eligible for 200 level seats.
If I balk, there are others lined up to make said contribution and all the better for the University.

My son became a "new" season ticket holder last year as part of the Young Alumni program. He gets a parking pass to "O" lot (overflow lot near the Marriott) included with that package. There is no additional fee and he rarely uses it (we usually arrange to carpool as I have a parking pass), but for the few times he did use it he did not have to pay the "walk up" fee for "O" lot.

As for previous comments about the many open spots in lots A-D, I agree, UD staff needs to re-evaluate their capacity. Arena capacity has shrunk, not grown. And IMO the modifications made to the property surrounding lots A-D have not resulted in fewer spots to the point that each individual STH cannot have access. In the 70's, 80's, and 90's, STH packages were thriving and everyone got a parking pass...and a place to park. In addition, walk up customers could pay a couple of bucks and park in D lot. Sump'n ain't right!

In the past, Pride members had mentioned that UD should buy Welcome Park for additional parking adjacent to the Arena. Neil said last year that the city wouldn't sell for parking because the neighbors didn't support it. I had thought that in time the city might sell to UD anyway, but it now appears that will not be possible.

Last week this article was in the DDN. The city is selling part of the park to Bonbright and using the funds from the sale and an additional gift from Bonbright to build a mountain-biking facility.

a mountain-biking facility, just what Dayton needs

The city of Dayton apparently holds UD in high regards. (sarcasm)
