Another RU money grab

[Local Shill]

They have some set of stones charging $12 for parking for the GMC finals doubleheader tomorrow.

$2 more than for an RU game - for a boys and girl game.

Great way to build goodwill with people from Edison, East Brunswick and Colonia, most of whom likely have no connection to RU.

Are you sure that’s an RU decision vs. an NJSIAA decision? I have no idea who controls parking rates but admission is set by the high school group.

Meadowlands/Met Life would charge $20. *ucking Jets and Giants are going to lose all of their fans

My bet is that RU is not making the money here. I’d like to know who is.

Me too. $12 to park for a county final is nuts.

It's the Greater Middlesex Conference finals. It's not the NJSIAA (state) finals, which aren't for a couple more weeks.

How do you know that Rutgers set the parking fee, and not GMC?

Often pricing is dictated by NJSIAA for their events.

Want to make a bet on that?

This should be fun...

I thought $12 was a little low. Never understood the concept of being cheap when it comes to a product you like. A lot of complainers out there these days.

 

[RUskoolie]

OP jumping the gun. The site host doesn't set the pricing for HS playoff games in any sport. Figured he of all people would know that.

Make a bet on what? I asked you how you knew who set the parking fee. Are we betting on whether you're going to answer my question?

I assume there is a facilities rental agreement in place between Rutgers and the GMC, and I assume the agreement covers things like concessions and parking. Maybe the agreement says that Rutgers gets to set and keep parking revenue, or maybe it says GMC gets to set and keep parking revenue. Maybe GMC negotiated a lower price to rent the building in exchange for giving Rutgers more in parking revenue.

I don't know what the agreement actually says because I haven't seen the agreement. But you said the parking fee was a money grab by Rutgers and they "some set of stones charging $12 for parking". So I'm wondering how you know. Did you see the facility rental agreement? Were you told this by someone who saw the rental agreement or was involved in negotiations?

This price might be set by the State HS Athletics Asso. (Whoever is running the show)

St. Joe’s beats Colonia on a crazy 3 at the buzzer.

Piscataway beat Edison in the girls title game.
