I remember parking by the dumpster by the wrestling room off 322 and slipping my knife in the wrestling room door and walking thru rec hall and sneaking in the events
That was in the early 80s
No parking issues or parking ramps

Ha, it was the same in the '70's, and frankly Rec Hall was never a secure building until the Sandusky rules changed everything.
That damn thing reduced quality of life for SC residents in so many ways… As I teen, some real highlights involved exploring the underground steam tunnels on campus. Then there are the actual sanctioned use of facilities like IM and the Natatorium
Hell, up until the Sandusky rules were implemented it wasn't uncommon to be playing cut throat racketball in Rec Hall past midnight.

I think that 911 had more to do with increased security than the Sandusky rules.
Rec Hall was still quite easy and often welcome to get into through any number of doors after 911. Not after Sandusky.
I was still playing racketball late night in Rec Hall after 9/11.
It stopped after the Sandusky rules.
I used to sneak thru the men's bathroom locker room window to get into sold out events in the mid 80's. We used to hang at Rec all hours of the day. Take naps in wrestling cause always open.
It was a sad change.
On wrestling weekends I enjoyed walking through Rec Hall on a quiet Saturday morning; a very nostalgic experience looking at all the composite wrestling team photos going back to the very early 1900's. And as you went back in years, seeing overlap of guys from one year to the next; simply one continuous evolving team across a span of over 100 years.
This is true. I was with an early Sunday morning group that played basketball and another that played racquetball. We would show up at 7:00am and have the place to ourselves. For me it started in 1978 at the IM Building, then moved to Rec Hall. 9/11, as horrible as it was, didn't change a thing re. access to Rec Hall. Our last game was August 2019, when Student Affairs took over and locked the place up. I could pay a healthy fee to play, but it is so outrageous that it was no longer worth it -- and no one from our rather large group is playing anymore.
I also explored the steam tunnels. You could get into any building on campus through them. At the time, our Orange Bowl trophies were displayed in the HUB. I could have walked off with them.
