A number of Herd fans always bring RVs to tailgate.  Where will they be?

That space would be prime space for additional tailgating/outdoor athletic fields for all students given its proximity to Peden and Ping. Perhaps the golf course could be moved to the open land on W Union? This sounds anti-golf, but it is really more about using that prime space for more universal purposes.

People could say the same thing about spending to upgrade concessions. Or stadium expansion. Or even operating a stadium for that matter. I think that space could serve as additional intramural/student athletics fields and double as outdoor space for athletic events (tailgates, receptions, overflow parking) when needed.  Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 10,392 Status: Offline     RE: RV Parking on the Ridges??    Posted: 9/11/2013 9:40:45 PM  That space serves many students as well as factory and staff.

Violators will be ticketed/towed." I imagine the other lots near the stadium have the same warnings posted. Plan accordingly.

And thanks to Parking Services for another job well done.

Very accessible to students without cars. I used to walk from East Green to the course to play. Also, it's very pretty from the highway with the course in the foreground and the campus behind it.
