    Well this whole parking situation pretty much guarantees I will have to pay $10 to park once I get back to the hotel on Saturday morning. [face_plain]

    Why can't they just man those entrances like they normally do and only let people who have a room get in to park? I suppose that's too much to ask?

    The best recommendation for free parking is to park at the Park and ride on the other side of I-25 and walk over, there is a bridge.

    Otherwise yes it will be $10 for parking. Nnay and I will know the final info after Saturday.

    I know that's not an option for people with lots of stuff (including me).

    last year they tried charging for the lot across the street but gave up by Saturday afternoon, probably because they couldn't control all the entrances properly.

    I am going to show up early afternoon on Friday and not leave until Sunday afternoon.

    So you're going to park in the lot across the street early friday afternoon? Before they start charging?

    My goal is to park in the hotel parking lot, as close to the door as I can get.

    But yes that is another idea. Squatters rights?

    I could be wrong, but I thought the lot across the street also had rules about parking there overnight.......I thought some people had issues with this....[face_thinking]

    Last year I parked in the lot across the street on Saturday. I specifically asked them at what time they would consider it "overnight," because I knew I wouldn't leave before 2:00 a.m., and they said not to worry about it (I left around 3:00-3:30). I also didn't get a receipt or anything for the dash. Sunday I scored and parked in the hotel lot. It's all a lot of bantha poodoo for no good reason....

    If this thing is half as crazy as I've been led to believe, then I wonder if I'll survive to regret not getting a room? Meh, I'm comfortable with the risk! (After all, what's life without the occasional alcohol poisoning???)
