The parking garage by the rot is within a decent walking distance. I get there is construction but the parking situation isnt that bad. Ballcoach just wants to be able to park 2 feet from the door.

You know that.

Actually parking on East Campus and coming through the tunnel is pretty close, too.

Do I need to get the measurements from the parking garage to the vines?

Since you asked, YES--(1) can you do that and (2) also measure from the Vines Center to the parking lot nearest the East Campus tunnel? Thanks in advance for your help!

Parking Garage to SW vines entrance because of construction. 1682 Feet

Bookstore to University Blvd entrance. 1673 Feet.

For East, do you mean the lots by field hockey or the dorm lots?

By the field hockey lots. That's where some visitors park for basketball games.

East campus at David's Place is best place I have found to park for basketball. If I am lucky to find empty.space.

It seems they are only remodeling the interior and not doing the wings/extensions on either side of the FOC and not doing the upper level addition to the Baptist side unless somebody knows differently?!

Just a quick note when it comes to parking for basketball games. All lots (not reserved for Flames Club) open up at 4:00pm. I get that you will still have to look for one but if you leave enough time, parking at East and walking through the tunnel is the best.

Did this on Saturday and can confirm the ease.
