NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

[Henry]

Last year, that Gigantic multi-story Parking Garage on the opposite side was open to park in. If it is again, that seems to me to be the best place to park - or am I smoking something entirely inappropriate?

Ah, that's right, I'd entirely forgotten about the Cates Avenue Parking Deck (mosatly because I myself don't own a car and walk to work ). Yes, y'all should be able to park there on Saturday with no problem, unless the construction crews decide to get some work in on the weekend (there have been renovations & expansions added to the Parking Deck for several months now).

Ah, yes the joys of parking on campus I'm simply going to attach the image that I created for the last game day, because according to NCSU Transportation the parking deck is still open, although I suggest parking in one of the areas closer to Talley if at all possible. Places where you won't get towed are highlighted in blue. Always pay attention to signs and never park in a space marked 24 hour towing! Talley is building number 102.

Matt,
Master. Of choppy. Sentences.

I don't know what Henry's smoking.

But what I found at the last game day was that it was far easier to park in one of the spaces on Morrill Drive as you approach Talley from the south. On CodeMonkey's map, it's that grey strip at the bottom edge between the Carmichael Gym and the track.

There was plenty of parking there, no pass required and no time limits on it either. Assuming folks are arriving for the morning slot, at or around 8:30 AM, I'm guessing there will be plenty of spaces. At that time of the morning on a Saturday (especially around the start of the semester), most of the student body is still in bed, recovering from "nocturnal explorations of fraternal fermentations".

At least that was standard proceedure when I was there.

I strongly suggest following CodeMonkey's advice about paying close attention to the signs. But, IIRC, the ones along that strip approaching Talley from the south said, "Permit Required M-F".

Missed by that much....

Shoot. I just got back from vacation where I met my wifes family for the first time. I drove right through North Carolina down I-95 on my way to Sumter South Carolina. Shoot.

Looks like I missed the Gameday by a month. Would have been fun to attend either as a player or as a rep from MEG. Oh well....maybe next time.

Good luck on all the games though. They sound fun.

Duly noted and filed away for use. The first time we went, we had no clue where it was safe to park, and the garage was the first place we found that had no punitive signs that we saw.

I drove through the parking deck this weekend and all the construction is on the bottom floor, so there's still plenty of spaces. Again, there should be plenty of parking closer, so the deck is more of a backup if there's a huge event or something. However, Rel is absolutely right, most students only think that 9am exists Monday through Friday and even then it's a hazy existence

*wonders if he uses strawberry-flavored rolling paper*

Are the spaces on Morrill dr. parallel parking or actual parking spaces?

I don't recall if they are ALL regular spaces, but the ones on the east side definately are.

Is there something you need to tell us about your ability to parallel park, Lola?

 

[Henry]

I'll parallel park next to anyone, as long as they sign the waiver beforehand.
