I've done the doubleheader thing a few times. Fun, but it does make for a long day/ evening. It would be even more appealing if they had better food at the JAR since they usually run through the dinner hour.

Doing on a weekday does little to promote interest and attendance.

And, a program that has nothing to do with “Sauce” Gardner or Spud Webb.

The Gardner-Webb teams are known as the "Runnin' Bulldogs."  That's quite an image.  I've never seen a bulldog run.

 

My son went to a university and lived in a dorm where the team mascot, a bulldog.  In getting hyped up for the big game against their rival, they trained the bulldog to attack and tear up a box with the rival's emblem on it.  In front of the student body they unleashed the bulldog to tear up the box, he frantically approached the box and....started humping it.  I guess "Runnin' Bulldogs" is better than "Humpin' Bulldogs."

This will be your one and only warning (per today's email)!

 

Thank you for your ongoing support of Akron Athletics and our Zips student-athletes.  Below are some friendly reminders regarding parking at athletics events.

 

The University of Akron and Akron Athletics have been working with UAkron Park, a third-party vendor, as they have taken over all parking for the University and special events. 

 

Throughout the fall semester, UAkron Park has been issuing warnings to fans that parked in non-event spaces. 

 

Be advised, UAkron Park is issuing tickets to fans that do not park in designated lots.

 

Please be sure to park in your designated lot and have your parking pass visible. Do not park in lots with signage indicating "no event parking." Fans that do not have parking passes should park in Lot 1 and pay the designated fees. 

 

That's one hell of a thank you.

Heck of a way to build goodwill and attendance. For football I refuse to pay $10 to park in a deck that is as far away as the Olin Hall lot. I'm sure the extra $500(?) a game they get for basketball will significantly impact the program. What do you suppose they're paying the third party?

And how are they going to enforce these tickets?  They aren't law enforcement.   I have a lot pass, but I'm still offended by this.  Years ago when I lived in Chicago  I received a ticket for parking in a "non-metered spot."  We could contest by mail.  I sent pics of where I parked and showed them it was perfectly legal and then added thus in un-American, ticketing me for being  smart.
