The northern buildings of Stephens (1969) and Hilton (1971) in the ISC were built first so it makes sense that they numbered from close to those buildings to further away. Jack Trice didn't open until 1975. Even Fisher (1974) opened before JTS.

I knew there had to be more to the story. But now you've got me thinking.
Did they not have the big lots that extend to Jack Trice when Hilton opened? If not, did they call them B1/2 and C1/2 even before there were A and D lots? It seems like they could have just called them Scheman/Hilton North/South lots until the bigger lots were built. However, it also seems that they would have needed to big lots as soon as Hilton opened.
I believe they built lots clear to 4th but nothing around what would be the stadium.
Here is a pic from Cyclone Stadium construction.
I'm pretty sure that is the same asphalt I was tailgating on last fall, too. Give me resurfacing or give me death!

So, I guess it would have been weird to name the lot farthest from Hilton A-1 when there was no football facility across the street yet.
Hilton under construction. No parking lots except for around CY.
Yeah, and Elwood Drive not even built yet either.Hilton under construction. No parking lots except for around CY.
So A and B lots built first. Who wouldda thunk it?

That is an awesome photo. Almost any other time, I would have focused on Hilton. But in this thread, it is cool to see some of the parking lots built and others roughed in even before Jack Trice Stadium was built.
P.S. From gravel they came and to gravel they are returning one winter at a time.
Just selected my spot and there were no spaces left in C4. I selected C3 and I'm happy with that.
I remember parking our bus in the grass straight east of the stadium on a very rainy Cy-Hawk Saturday.This is the parking I remember.
Didn't cost $5000 to 12,500 to park there then.
We always parked on the west side. I am glad for the team that those spots are gone, but those were damn good spots.

Just seeing all the cars parked on the sided of the road and medians as far as you can see is what amazes me.
Anybody know the plan for the Hilton/Scheman lots (and Scheman grass)? Will they be open to the public (except on rain days or during All-State Music)? Or to ask differently, can you pick passes in B1, B2, C1, or C2?
Per the map jd linked (in the tweet), yes to C1 & C2, no to B1 & B2.
Does G7 ever sell out ? Be interesting where they Put people when it’s closed due to rain. Vet med can’t hold them all.
