Hard Rock Parking Changes

[duke4heisman]

What’s the cost for Valet? I just got an email this morning being assigned to Black East. Almost took offense to it until I realized she was talking about actual parking sections.

Valet is I included with my suite, idk if you can buy it separately and/or the cost.

What day/time you allowed to buy?

July 19th 9am

Parking lots open 3 hours before kickoff while the green lots open 4 hours before kickoff, typically, is that right? Tried a quick google search but didn't find anything right away, so that's just off memory from last season.

Yeah I got the new corner option, 240A. I chose North, as I thought it would be easier to veer left through 1A. I was just wondering if I chose correctly but it does look like getting out of East could be hectic, across two lanes and a crosswalk.

On second thought, you’re right. East Black is pimp close to the stadium gates, but getting out could be a huge issue unless the cops escort you out.

Anyone have a guess as to why blue cost more than green if green gets the extra hour?

I’ve circled the best places to park if you’re coming from the north on the turnpike, in my opinion.

If you’re going to pick orange, just remember since they’re the most cost effective they fill up quickly, so don’t come late or you may be parking in the far orange.

I’ll PM you some very specific in and out directions within a week or so, I’m just time crunched right now on some reports and it’ll take some time.

Thanks brother. So, you pick a color, that means they can put you in any lot of that color, as long as you get there early, you can choose the lot, but if you're not one of the first one's there, you may end up in a farther lot. That may be enough justification for me to spend the extra $145 to get into the Maroon lot, if I can. Is that a decent lot for tailgating?

Thanks again!

The norm has been opening 4 hours for regular games and 5 hours for the green lot. For bigger games in the past this has been extended an hour (5 and 6 hours prior).

Good to hear the parking is coming available. Please help a new season ticket holder out. My seats are upper deck on the 50, visitor side, so the north side. Would be nice to park near there, but also want to be able to get in and out fairly easily, for the games where I may be driving back to DaUuuuval right after the game. I'm not sure if I want to be in the lot that opens early or not, but which ones are those? What lot would you all recommend I try to get into, if I get a choice?

TIA

I would buy an orange pass, it is the cheapest and there are 2 lots on the turnpike side (East). Easy in and out except for the FSU game. That's where I park.

If you really want the extra hour of tailgating, go green lot.

If you don’t mind me asking what suits level do you have? I’m getting legends for the first time so I want to make sure I’m not getting hustled if I can push for a lot I can park in.

the other benefit, if I’m not mistaken is that it’s the only lot that has non-directional parking. Meaning you can pull in and park wherever you like in the lot and save a spot for the rest of the group if they happen to arrive at a later time. The other lots force you to arrive at the same time as everyone you want to park next to.

That is true, in orange you don't get to pick where you park.

I often walk over to another tailgate, so this has never bothered me.

I'm in the Legend also but a few months ago, they started a new corner option. It's $250 more per ticket but it's on the lower level, between the end zone sideline suite and the Corner Stone Club. Reduced seating from 44 to 24 and includes everything except alcohol.
Last year I was in M36 and they gave me the purple lot. Idk if I got black because of the upgrade or losing the purple lot. Either way, legends includes parking and valet.

Great info and thanks for the responses everyone. 4 hours is plenty of tailgating for me, given that I've got a 5+ hour drive each way. Easy in/out is most important to me. This is off topic, but any recommendations for cheap hotels with easy access off the turnpike say 30 minutes to an hour north?

Stadium Hotel is surprisingly nice. Good rates, walking distance and there's an Applebee's inside. There's also a bar downstairs and a van that will drop you off at the front gate and be there after the game for $15 per person.

Thanks. I’m in M36. How’d you like sitting there?. I was assigned Black East.

I knew the renovates it but never knew anyone who stayed there. Interesting.

Are you in box 10, seats 3 and 4? Those were mine, I remember at the spring game my old rep was telling me those were the only Legends seats available. I had switched to M28 before the corner option became available because I was in the 3rd box closest to the field, my old seats in M36 were the furthest away. Honestly I also changed because I have a lot of high school friends that are in there and they can get rowdy and also bring a lot of extra people, especially for the big games. I also had an issue with the bartender, he was trying to hustle, telling us the alcohol stopped at the beginning of the 4th quarter. Then, it changed to having to pay for it; come to find out, he was flat out lying. His name is Roger, so watch that guy.
As far as parking, the Legends always included valet in the past but it might be different now with the reduced parking and honestly, that's where they gave me for the spring VIP experience and it's a very small lot, literally right in the front.

They were actually remodeling it when I last stayed there, which was 2016. That's why they had the bar outside the front entrance while people waited on the van. It's probably even nicer now, I booked a room there for the Thursday night game vs UNC.

Yup. Seats 3 & 4. Wife and I sat in the box for ND then the next weekend for the Phins/OAK and she looked at me and said “if we get season tickets it has to be in a box.” So of course I dragged my feet due to my disgust after spending my anniversary vacay at the Charlotte Massacre. But needless to say happy wife happy life. If you don’t mind I’m going to PM you to get a deeper run down of the seats.

Sure, I'm at work but I'll check and respond as I can.
