Again, it seems to me that you can have both increased student housing and additional parking, with just a little bit of diligence.
    Yes, but wouldn't a parking garage (maybe 2) solve part of the problem? Good points @KungWu

      Dunno. Maybe. Depends on the net loss an/or gain of stalls and rules around who gets to use it I guess.

        Depends if they want to eventually build a new football stadium and will use the golf course for that.

          True. Or not worry about it and let some future administration figure that out. :)

            It not like that has never happened in other scenarios throughout history...."What the hell were they thinking when they built this here?"

              Hmmm! Kind of makes you wonder were the new Cessna Parking Garage will be located doesn't it.

                Maybe they just want to make it easy for the students to walk to the football games.:smile-new:

For another, that parking lot is the largest one that is close to buildings, and is one of the most vital parking lots on campus.

                    Finally, it seems disingenuous to tell the students they are the priority, but then make the golf course a higher priority than student parking.
                    Until the 1980's, LSU's Tiger Stadium had dorms built INTO the stadium. It was a very popular dorm.

                      My guess is vibrating beds were free of charge on game day!

                        Actually this made me wonder ... would they sell beer at football games if we had football in, say, 2020?
