Uh, no, filled and permit only parking left. Parked in a little area right there beside the lower parking. $20 parking, for a "free" ticket that costs $4.20, to a PRACTICE! I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Only in Kentucky!!! Anyway, during TSO, that really is a great place to park! All the semis and the tour buses were parked there last year.Lalbright, yeah, we just drove past Rupp a couple of days ago (mother-in-law is hospitalized at Good Sam) and all the new construction is definitely going to make parking more challenging in coming years! Historically, we usually park up in the main Rupp lot on the far West side. It's a bit of walk going in but coming out, we just pop out the side doors & jaywalk straight across to the lot! Hoping we can get there again this year.
Hmmm... so THAT'S where the buses & trucks park in Lex. We've "found" them in L'ville (when they played the Palace - accidentally came out the back of the parking garage we were in & ran into some of the roadies who were unloading gear from the trucks & had a nice chat with them as they worked) and in Cincy but never stumbled across them in Lex.
LOL! We've never been to Big Blue Madness.... just not into the whole UK sports scene. Love watching L'ville City FC play though & am hoping, hoping, hoping they get to build a new stadium!!!!! It'd be so cool to have something like that closer than Columbus, OH!
