There are private parking lots in the vicinity of most college stadiums. Depending on the campus, they may be your best or only bet. And on some occasions you can build up a relationship with the owners and start having your space reserved each week. But Gator Parking takes the whole business ahead one giant leap by allowing you to book your spot for the season online. It may cost about $400-800 for the season, but the perks seem worth it.
- Three different lots that are near to both the stadium and bars and restaurants.
- You can show up at 8am or 20 minutes before the game and still have your spot. Lots are open until two hours after the game.
- Friends and family will always know where to find you
- The lot is monitored during the game.
- Unpaved, shaded lot, takes the edge off 90° September games.
- Most importantly, they have bathrooms.
This probably isn’t idyllic for rowdy 30 and under fans who like to party all weekend, and probably don’t drive after the game. But for the 50 year old set who just rolls in to town for the day, this seems like an easy solution. I can only hope this catches on in other college towns.
