Football Parking

I heard you can do a pre-pay for parking and have it be digital over the phone, Does this apply to the General Public spots (in brown)?
Yes, but each week of a game you must call on Wednesday Monday. Or, do it online

We parked in the Union ramp a lot of games that year the grass lots were rained out a bunch and they gave donor people Vet Med. At that time it was $9 bucks for the day so if you weren’t tailgating and content to go eat in campustown it was a good deal. It was higher than that last year, I think in the teens somewhere, still cheaper than lots at stadium if not tailgating. Downside is it takes a while to get out after the game, but so do the public lots. That east parking deck by Gerdin has a nice tailgating atmosphere and is free on weekends, but you have to get there earlier than we usually do. Can’t remember if JP had porta potties there last year but he did several years ago and isn’t far to go to Union. Gerdin would be close but not sure it is open on weekends. Lots of people tailgate by greenhouses.
 
I purchased season tickets this year after not having them for a number of years. I got an email that I could buy a season parking pass that is $100 but would require a minimum $300 donation. That much isn't in my budget. What are my parking options if I don't want to go this route? Can grass lot parking still be purchased on a game by game basis for like $20?

We park at the Gateway Hotel. It’s also not a bad walk to the stadium. We always have a room there during game weekends but they don’t seem to monitor parking. Most games you can always find parking there.

We didn't either. Guess I need to keep looking for it.

EDIT: We got one from the Cyclone Club on April 8 about specific parking stalls. At the bottom it said

"We anticipate sending out your selection time via email around the middle of April, and that you will be able to choose your parking lot online later in April."​

Hell I didn't get either of those. Last email I received from them is my receipt. Never received either of those communications, nothing about parking stalls, nothing about future parking picks.
 
I picked last week or the week before. So he may not be joking
What level are you? In years past I remember doing this in mid-April but we had the email ahead of time giving us the link and whole spiel about when and how to do the choosing.

Just talked to ISU ticket office. They had planned to send parking emails mid-April, but are running behind and plan to send emails with selection times at the end of this week.
 
Correct. They are currently doing construction to expand B1 to add additional spaces.

FWIW, there's quite a logjam for parking at the lower donor levels. I am 551/1267 in States, and was told I would likely need to move up 2 donor levels to have a shot at getting into a lot on the South side of Center drive.

Do you know if there will still be access to B1 & C1 from Lincoln Way?

Also in States, and kind of will miss G7, but if it's easier to get in and out off Lincoln Way, then that is some consolation...

We opted for one of the stalls from that email. I don't know our specific stall, but we received notification last week that we'll be in S5.

Some year we might. For now we're staying in A3 so more of our tailgating friends can find us easily.
