I am taking my daughter to the game Saturday night. Is parking as simple as pulling up to lot 100 (or somewhere close) and paying $10-$15 and parking?

its $5, look at the routes, avoid the obvious ones unless you like sitting in traffic.

It's a cluster before and after games unless you go to them all the time and know how to avoid it. Get there early because it'll probably take 30 minutes to park. It's by far the worst part of the gameday experience and that's saying something with how bad Reed is.

you got 2 events going as well as mbb, softball and T&F. Now in theory those should be done by tip, but who knows. So here's a tip, avoid that parking area closest to softball and T&F. Look at how they do traffic flow. IMO the easiest in and out is the greenhouse parking north of Reed, lot 97, but depending on what direction you are coming from, you may need to adjust how to get into that lot. You may have to take a "longer" route out, but you're moving and not stuck trying to get to Welborn like other 10K people are try to do.

Or get their early, another issue with out fanbase is they like to show up 5 minutes before tip

Hard to blame them when the only real option for anything to do pregame is eat some crappy food, drink 15 dollar beers and get their ears blown off by Monaco and Thornton's pregame show.

We'll be out there tailgating like usual, all 5 of us lol.

well you've hit on the trifecta of what's wrong with our wonderful University.

You have parking that does what they want.

You have the University signing concession contracts without any regards to the fans.

You have the Athletic Department trying to fund all these things yet have limited control of several of the factors, like facilities in some cases.

I usually get there super early and I'm often in the first wave out which works fine. If I linger after the game it can be a nightmare.

Saturday I'm walking since I'm staying at the conference center hotel.

parking at Kyle and walking over isn't a bad option either. assuming the weather doesn't suck

If you plan to park at Reed, definitely get there early or you may miss the tip. It is like they take the absolute worst of the Kyle concession workers and put them in charge of Reed parking. Total incompetence.

Is Lot 74 available for cash parking for tonight's game? I plan on getting to game early. I can not find an answer on parking link. Thanks.

On the link I posted if you click the map is shows $5 parking. Also it's been parking for MBB at least since conference play. Not sure why it wouldn't be tonight

Reed lot by softball already looks full. I'd avoid that way at all cost

Welp. That was a colossal cluster****. Just trying to drop off kids to go to the game…whose ****ing idea is it to direct traffic like that?
I resolve in 2026 to be more tolerant and respectful of trolls and emotionally fragile, overly pessimistic posters so they don’t run crying to the mods and have me banned for three days.

Gotta love pre-paying for parking in lots A-g……arriving 1.5 hours early, and driving around aimlessly for 30 minutes until I got lucky and someone leaves.

They said it was full but there were a ton of spots. Traffic / parking was a disaster tonight

Been a season ticket holder for 10+yrs , and this yr they decide to change traffic patterns, etc after games.

Leave it alone!!

It gets harder every yr to fight thru college station/ A&Ms incompetence to support the team in person

Got to the game with just over 10 minutes left in the first half due to the colossal mess. I think our team had just made it into the building as well since we'd only scored 2 points by that time.

How do they have football down to a science but mess this up so badly? I guess the pre-pay parking at football does help a ton...

It looked to me like they did not allow access to the Reed lots next to Davis Diamond until about 7:15 to give time for softball traffic to exit.

They also need to brief the traffic people on customer service. While at an intersection I asked one women if the reed lots were full and got a hand to the face and told to just follow the traffic directions.
