I never had a problem with parking for basketball games as a student or an alumni. I always just arrived 15 minutes early, parked in the softball lot and walked across Stadium Drive. It's about 5-10 blocks closer than attending a Tigers/Lions game (heck, even a Pistons game) in Detroit.

However, I've had some issues from a media standpoint -- by no fault of the athletic department though. Would be nice if Parking Services could work something out with the Athletic Department for media attempting to cover practices, events, etc. during normal WMU ticketing hours. Kind of stinks having to buy a day pass ($5) or feed the visitor meters full of quarters each time. I would love to have the option to buy a "press pass" or something along those lines that was for the whole season. Same for football and hockey season. But I digress...

edit: For clarification, media receives season passes for all home games. I was referring to practices, interviews, events, etc.
