to the stadium parking lot. Why drive 500 feet just so I can then walk another 2000 feet?

Why doesn't BYU add a huge parking garage for students?

No demand for it

Please, it's "UT," not "UT-Austin."

I asked the parking office this question. They told me they won't even consider it until every spot

That's just absurd - the part about filling the stadium parking lot

KingDave

Yeah he was kind of a jerk about it. He said he didn't want to hear any whining from students who just wanted to save a

What they aren't thinking about is safety. Imagine a girl having to walk that

it's absurd that they won't build new parking until the current parking is used?

It is when the available parking is absurdly inconvenient

Well by that standard, they could have built

possible that the ROI is gonna be a little higher on City Creek than a parking

fattycoug

there is no ROI on a parking structure that is free

Students should bike, walk and bus more. I am glad they don't spend money on more parking.

Baron

they would be better off just running a buss from LES to campus and getting rid

Alabama has a fantastic free shuttle system. It makes game day really great

They do run a bus service, but I think it goes to key apartment areas and then drops off on campus.

BYU is great. But they still have some very stupid ideas, i.e. housing radius

Trying to limit growth by limiting infrastructure is a very painful way to do it

Exactly how Bluffdale is

In this case that would be the BOT

Isn't there usually always parking available in certain areas like the stadium?

BYUCLA

3/26/17 9:31pm

Just ballparking it based on Google Maps, the stadium is about 0.5 miles or more

Should bulldoze the worthless HFAC and build a massive parking garage

I just walked to campus, or was dropped off.

Well a good start would be to not keep making "improvements" to parking areas

Complaining about parking at byu is ridiculous.

The problem on campus isn't the lack of parking

jbfcoug

People seriously drive from the Village to the Marriot Center to go to class?

Exactly

jbfcoug

3/27/17 7:19am

Especially when there is some student parking south of campus

Zorbel

I don't know a single person that does this. I think you're exaggerating the issue here.

Zorbel

3/27/17 7:39am

Honestly, it is hard to believe.

jensen46

3/27/17 8:01am

I've lived at the Village for two years. No one I know parks at the MC.

Zorbel

3/27/17 8:18am

Seems fair.

I deserve it, probably

I saw it all the time in my days at BYU. Some people would rather drive 75% of teh way and walk

There's plenty of parking, it's just that sometimes you have to park farther than you'd prefer, like by the MC.
