Copy and paste of the post I made about 3 weeks ago on the old board:

"I have priority season tickets. To get those, you have to pay the minimum $125 “donation”. You can do that & park in the convo. I’ve been paying the $500 to park in P lot. Myself and 1 of my tailgating compadres are contemplating dropping from P-Lot to the Convo.

I P-Lot: Used to be able to leave at halftime, where would have time to go to your vehicle for about 10 min for food & beverages, then return to stadium without missing any of the game. No more as of 2011, as is no more stadium re entry. In this regard, it doesn’t make any difference what lot you are parked in.

Convo: No longer a disadvantage to park there being too far away for going back to vehicle at halftime for food & beverages, as there is no more halftime stadium re entry.

II P Lot Used to be able to turn left out of P Lot by top of lot onto BlueStone, then left at the traffic light, then immediate left onto I81. .2 miles, 2 min with no traffic, 5-10 min with at the end of game traffic.
No more as of 2011. Traffic pattern now: P-Lot to Carrier drive all the way through campus at a crawl with gameday traffic to Univ Blvd to East Market to I81 = about 2.8 miles. 8-10 min if no traffic, ½ hr if leaving at the same time as most people at the end of a close game or after fireworks. This is really frustrating as I’m tailgating up against I81, with 1/5 mile of the exit, yet I’ve got to go across town in heavy traffic to the Market Street exit. ASININE.

Convo: Left out of the Convo Lot onto Univ Blvd to left on East Market to I81. Used take longer much longer from exiting stadium to being on I81 compared to someone parking in P Lot. Now it probably doesn’t take any longer. Longer walk to your vehicle, but left out of Convo Lot onto Univ Blvd to left onto East Market to I81 = about 2 miles, but bypass having to go all the way through campus on Carrier Drive at a post game crawl like someone in P Lot does.

III P Lot: Used to be able to park wherever you wanted- 1st come, 1st serve. No more as of this season. Reparking with assigned parking spots by Duke Club standing. So if you have a group of people you’d like to park with as a group, your location is based on the person with the lowest point total. Probably around half the spots in the lot are either where the ground is sloped, or there is a tree or light pole (see previous post). If you get a crappy spot, you are stuck with it. So people like the assigned spaces. I don’t.

Convo: No assigned spaces, so if get there early enough don’t have to worry about being stuck in a crappy spot like could be assigned in P-Lot.

IV P Lot: Pay $500 this season, $1,000 next season to guarantee your spot.

Convo: Can pay $125 to keep your priority season tickets & park in Convo.

So we'd have to walk a little further before and after the game (I need the exercise), and the tailgating scene probably isn't as good.[/b]"

But, my point is that everyone wants to go FBS and we need more money; not less. You are going from $500 to $125, which is your personal prerogative, of course; but, we need you to go the other direction for us to be able to fund big boy football. It is none of my business about your contributions, I am just using it as an example.

And next yr it would be going from $1000 to $125.

2011 season went to 11 of 13 games , 6 of 8 away, including NDSU. Missed @ W&M because of a wedding. Could have gone to @ EKU but watched on TV and put that coin towards going to @ NDSU.

Last season I might be the only one on the board who made all 11 games (all driving).

Plan on making all 11 (and hopefully 13, 14, 15) games this yr. Hopefully only flying would be Frisco.

I probably drop as much coin on football related JMU stuff as a lot of people in G Field. Its just that the bulk of mine comes in travel costs as opposed to donations.

That won't change when JMU moves up. Won't make all the away games, but likelly regular season drive to 1-2 and fly to 1-2, + hopefully toilet bowl (likely fly). Airfare, car rental, gas, hotel, I-A away game tickets, parking, tailgate, etc, etc ain't cheap.

Doox, do you know if the reparking website will have a computerized map of the parking lots or a Google Maps Satellite view?
Tailgating is a crucial component of the Hart Foundation's happiness meter. Just like real estate the most important thing is location, location, location.

No, they aren't a satellite view or anything that detailed. Basically looks like a campus map focused on the stadium and immediate area. But unless you want to park by a certain tree or other landscape feature you shouldn't have any problems picking a space in the general vicinity you want to be if you are familiar with the lot.

May be tough to get into Godwin. Looks like a ton of donors in that lot gave enough for the exemption.

I hadn't gotten one as of this morning and I emailed my rep and he sent me my email (which apparently was rejected by yahoo). You might want to do the same if you still haven't received it yet.
