Parking $$$ up again...

[Waquoit]

Just can't get too upset about an increase that amounts to about the cost of 1/2 a beer per game. I've got other things to get pissed about.

Sorry, just not something to get worked up about.

Also worth noting there were 6 home games last year, opposed to 7 this year so of course prices went up. It'd be nice if nothing changed but welcome to reality

UI welcome to reality as you are off to a rough start. When commenting here it is always a good idea to read the post and not just the title. Upon doing so you will see the number of games was factored in. My gripe is the % and the fact they just went up last year.........

If they have any sense they will adjust year three of the agreement because if they don't have a new home by 15 the backlash will be unbelievable.

I am sure they will wait until they have 25,000 for a game and then drop the prices mid season further infuriating season ticket holders.

I'd amend that to 2014. If 12 months from now we aren't in a new conference. Season tickets will plummet. I'd put the over/under at 10,000.

Do you think the state lets LAZ make money tax free? UConn does eventually get something from the parking fees.

UConn dooesn't get enough of the parking for it to make a difference. The most likely cause of the parking increase is due to the state admissions tax that went into affect as of July 2011. It's a 10% state fee right off the top for everything from a bar cover charge to parking to sporting event tickets. One think is for sure, about 75% of those orange jacketed "parking attendants" are worthless, but it's probably in some union contract that they are necessary depending on the number of expected cars (most likely estimated at capacity).
