PSU to charge $10 parking for basketball, baseball, hockey, volleyball, wrestling
- Thread starter dwiz
- Start date
What was it previously?
I just paid $40 to park at a f**cking preseason NFL game and still had to walk a few blocks to the stadium.
^ I know the 2 are entirely unrelated, but I'm venting.

I'm not saying it doesn't sucks, but if they are just now charging that, consider yourself lucky previously.
$5 basketball and hockey. Volleyball was free. Not sure about others.
Rats, I was hoping it would be a lot higher. Hopefully they will at least charge us a seat license along with the purchase of each ticket, and require we use separate electronic devices for entry into each sport. That would motivate me a lot more to drive 400 miles and spend money for a hotel room if I want to watch a girls softball game.
Also, while hockey was $5, season ticket holders received parking vouchers which could be used in lieu of the $5. I don't know if the same applied to basketball. Maybe the vouchers will be done away with.
Release said paid season parking options would be announced for some sports, or something like that.
What an excellent way to increase attendance.
If you’re complaining about $5 or $10 parking fees, maybe you should stay home.
or maybe he is right and it's just one more way for PSU to shoot themselves in the foot.
In fairness, Sandy does need a new big screen. With the increased budgetary pressures from NIL the money has to come from somewhere.
I normally would be inclined to say that Sandy has a FACILITY. MASTER. PLAN. 
to pay for, but barren told her that she has an Eric Barren Grand Cathedral of The Arts (and such) to pay for.

And wait until you see the parking fees for that! People are going to be flocking to see some coal miners lithograph from 1897 just so they can pay the parking fees. At 400,000 visitors per year that's at least a new waiting room for Sandy's office complex.
I have used the weekend and evening parking pass option in the past for Rec Hall events. I just checked with Transportation Services and they are still sold for $6.00/month. This seems like a more than reasonable workaround.
For just $6 per month, the Evening/Weekend permit provides access to all faculty/staff parking areas on weekdays from 4 p.m. through 7:30 a.m. the following day and all day on Saturdays and Sundays, with the following exceptions:
Evening/weekend permits may be purchased at the Transportation Services Office at 1 Eisenhower Parking Deck on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Please bring the following items:
Transportation Services
The Pennsylvania State University
1 Eisenhower Parking Deck
University Park, PA 16802
With the exception of graduate students enrolled in the RIDEpass program, students are not eligible to purchase the Evening/Weekend permit.
For more information, email parking@psu.edu or call 814-865-1436.

Well, that's pretty much what Sandy's telling us guys that live 4 hours away, and have to fork out the money for gas and a hotel room, right?? You sound like a pretty good spokesman!!! Good job!!!! : ^ )
To be honest with you, the parking fees don't bother me because I never pay to park anyway. It's just one more thing, on top of this brain dead electronic device crap, that is going to make people less crazy than me not want to waste two days of their life driving back and forth to a sporting event in the middle of nowhere.
I have a hunch this electronic device entry garbage will keep a lot of people at home this year. I would be VERY surprised if we have any (people actually in the stands) sell outs this year at the Beav.
How are things in the buggy whip business?
No, she's saying that if you're driving from four hours away to pay $5 to park, you can now let them know in advance that you're coming and pay $5.50.
Find it hard to believe you don’t have to at least pay to park sometimes. Guess you must Uber a lot or never travel.
HAAA!!! No, travel down from Buffalo. Us old guys can still walk to the games. You youngins ought to try it sometime!!!
I thought Sandy’s plan was to shower student-athletes with education.
Don’t besmirch the Portland cement crack of the week with awarding it to a statement that wasn’t funny, or even an attempt at a joke
Why? Are Penn State fans that afraid of technology that works fine in thousands of other venues for years?
Have you seen our fans? Majority between the 30s probably have flip phones and print out mapquest directions to go somewhere new
The Crack of the Week award goes to a clever retort that is both considered timely and responsive. The decision on what is clever, timely and responsive, rests with the Committee. Feel free to reach out to the Complaints Department if you have comments. You will find their offices at the end of the hall.
I look forward to it keeping anyone that can't handle this process, at home. It's kind of like natural selection. The conversations in State College that day will be much better.
You mean we will no longer hear the word “shitter” used in casual conversions?
Ya, but what happens if all those people "that can't handle this process" DON'T stay at home. Your "natural selection" will become one giant fustercluck. The "conversations in State College that day" will involve some pretty nasty language and confrontations.
