RE: The North/Bancroft Parking Garage
No police at the exit from Lot6 and 10. They often have one there. No designated, lined crosswalk that I could see and people crossing over to Lot 10 were risking life and limb. Apparently they only need police there pregame to keep legitimate parking pass holders from entering the designated lots for which they paid a premium to park in.

As pointed out early in this thread, having lots of cars on campus for the games includes a lot of positives for the athletic program. With the great engineering college, I'm sure a good solution will be developed and implemented.

I'd grade the Campus Police a "D" after today's thrilling game. One person directing traffic at the intersection near the Bancroft garage, and not a soul directing at the light at the top of the hill at Bancroft.
Those two UT Athletic Officials that were aware of bad traffic flow are apparently suffering from a case of A.D.D.
This after the largest men's game attendance in recent memory.
Throw in the slippery conditions and folks walking from the game, geesh.
And they usually have no problem having multiple cops directing traffic (and stopping traffic on Douglas) out of the lot by Fetterman onto Douglas. I guess that's what happens when you're a big donor.
Guess in that case they're taking care of the donor class or as W called them "my base."
Donor class, royalty, hierarchy,rich folks,privlaged,upper crust,socialites, makes no difference.
Our great institution has a long and storied career of showing incompetence, and long may it live.
Many potential future Rocket fans are probably not going to a future home game, because of not understanding crowd control.

Kind of reminds me of the souvenir stands initially at football. Total disaster.

RE: The North/Bancroft Parking Garage
The strange thing was that when I walking out, I could see police lights at the Bancroft intersection. However by the time I arrived at my parking spot, they were gone.
