In reply to: DamnRam 's message, "In case anyone in the AD wants to see an extreme example of how to do this the right way, head up to Boston College. All students have to move their cars off campus the night before. Game day parking/tailgating on campus is by permit only, and permits are issued only to those who have given at least X number of dollars in the past year or two. Last time I heard, X was $5,000 but I think it was increased recently. Regular shuttle bus service runs between the campus and the T stations and parking lots in nearby areas." on 14:27:36 05/10/05 Tue

The BC post was more of a long-range suggestion. Note that I've always felt and advocated for Fordham to buy up properties to accomodate future expansion, provide income, and provide overflow parking for large events (football games, commencement, orientation, concerts, etc.). It wasn't meant to be a short-term fix but perhaps FU should consider it. As for where those student cars would go, I'll let others work that out. I just hope they get on this now and not wait till two weeks before the first game. (NT) DamnRam 15:18:02 05/11/05 Wed

Two WEEKS before the first game? You must be joking, DamnRam. I'd be surprised if Frank & Co. addresses the problem two HOURS before the first game. I can see it now: Frank running around like a chicken without a head, making last minute calls, and wondering what happened. "Pro-active" is not in his lexicon. (NT) -- Ram'98, 15:41:03 05/11/05 Wed
"As for where those student cars would go, I'll let others work that out" -- very constructive. Criticize but don't offer any reasonable alternatives. (NT) -- 1841, 18:07:15 05/11/05 Wed

Since I'm not in the area and therefore not plugged in to the local political and business scene, I thought it would be inappropriate. But since you clearly want ideas, see inside. -- DamnRam, 07:23:26 05/12/05 Thu

And here are some more ideas (see inside) -- DamnRam, 07:45:20 05/12/05 Thu

And here's one more idea and a thought -- DamnRam, 07:48:49 05/12/05 Thu

And another idea - Fordham Plaza's garage. (NT) -- DamnRam, 12:36:20 05/12/05 Thu
