Very frustrating experience yesterday and poor job by game day ops. I have had season tickets for almost 20 years now and have parked in the Blue lot for the majority of that time with my Dad who has had tickets since '76. Due to my son's football practice we were only able to get to the lot ~30min prior to kickoff, later then we would prefer but should still give us enough time to get in our seats, eat and get settled prior to kickoff. As we sit through normal traffic including busses and fans crossing we come to a complete stop with about 6 cars in front of the Blue lot entrance. Nobody is moving. After what felt like 20mins the police officers start turning cars back, one-by-one people are now making u-turns in the middle of the road and heading away from the stadium only to sit in more traffic as they backtrack. As we approach we are told the lot is full and we need to head back to the tan lot which is a pretty far hike back. Completely unacceptable for a lot we prepaid for. What got us even more fired up was walking through the Blue Lot and seeing plenty of spaces to park cars.
This is how you lose fans.
