The Navy is closing Fleet Park (off Hampton Blvd near the base right before the Pass office). If ODU or the city could lease or buy the land and have shuttles that could work. I have always thought ODU was generous giving free parking. We could offset some costs by charging for shuttles and/or better lots.

Why not do what they do here in El Paso. There are shuttles from our Mall parking lots for three dollars per.

Last year at the UNC game we parked in a lot that was a mile or maybe 1 1/2 miles from the stadium. They had tailgating at that lot and charged $20 or $25 a car to park and gave you a ticket to get on any of their shuttles for each person in the car. It worked great for us.

Both ideas sound good. Fleet Park would work perfectly for the UNC model. We/city would need to buy the land since the Navy closed Fleet Park after many many years of kids baseball leagues playing because all of a sudden they decided it was unsafe due the the air traffic!!
