Preferred vs. Reserved Parking Question

[joeparules]

I ended up getting a reserved parking pass (Green) for the Ohio State game and had a great time in that lot. It has me thinking about upgrading from my usual "low life" Yellow parking. Do I have this correct that the minimum "donation" is $1,000 for preferred and $2,500 for reserved? I've never had a preferred pass before ... is it that much better than Yellow? What are advantages of preferred over Yellow since they don't seem to be that much closer to the stadium?

With a kid in college not sure I can swing $2,500 for reserved.

TIA

Yes. It's on this page below. The $2500 doesn't include the cost of the parking pass, that's in addition to your $2500 buy in. You also have to have a decent amount of NLC points, but I think there are available spots in green and red. You'd be better off just buying singles, I think. Trump got rid of the tax deduction on the donation, so there's no write off anymore.

What is the cost of the pass (reserved and preferred)?

It figures the first year I joined NLC and got season tickets my company had to drop their corporate matching from 100% to 80% and now it is being eliminated. Thanks Trump!

the actual reserved and preferred passes cost the same as yellow.

I had reserved parking in the Red area (stall 1438-14 rows from the stadium) for 12 years. Kar & I were donating $2500 although our required gift was $600 (upper south-six seats). Reserved is great, it gives one more flexibility to arrive later and have a stall waiting. Since 2013, We've been giving the minimum required $1200 for two seats (W.C. Section EE).

I believe the Prefered lot is Orange, and regimented on a come first basis for parking lot location. I think the orange is a little closer that the closest yellow lot. Too lazy to find the parking map.

I had orange preferred and like it. I is a closer lot with first come first served parking. I liked it better than yellow. Then I upgraded to reserved purple and loved it. Not only can you come in later if you want (not sure why you would come later) but you get to know your neighbors who are there every week as well. Also, everyone knows where to find you every week. If you can swing it go with the reserved.

Occasionally the tribe wanted to hang along College Ave.

I am in Orange ... can take over an hour to get out of the lot after the game. It is closer to Beaver Stadium but nothing special.
