Thanks so much for providing this while you were able to do so. It was so convenient for events in that area and getting in and out was so easy.

We just parked for the Netherlands/Japan game and some guy from the building next door (2001) said if we dont have a permit you'll be towed. We told him we have permission from the person who leases this part and the guy way saying that's me.

Uhoh, that was gonna be my secret plan too today. What about parking on the street there?

They're claiming you'll get towed there too. Don't understand because it's technically a public street. Who knows

Hmm, crap. Thanks for the heads up though!

Sorry guys. I don't know who's threatening to tow but don't think it's one of my guys.

And that is a public street. Not sure who's threatening, outside the cops, could have you towed.

Thanks. We ended up paying $60 to park next door. Didn't want risk it because we didn't want to get towed. They brought out some guy that claimed owned Hince's spot. They were watching us like a hawk until we left.

We thought is was BS but didn't take the risk. They were giving out hangtags for parking there but they said you had to be an "employee" to park there. Make mistake, we're grateful for this as an option to park there.

Damn. I'm gonna be there Wednesday. Where did you end up parking? Still on Exchange?

Yes. On Exchange In one of Hince's parking spots. Not placing blame in Hince. Just relaying our experience for the benefit of Ags.

Post game experience. Cars that parked on. the strtet, were not towed when we got back after the game. Not saying they couldn't tow
, just relating our experience.

Probably just someone trying to push people into paid lots

Had to laugh at the Rangers parking lot across the tracks asking $125 for parking. I don't think more than 4 cars parked in it.

I ended up using prked.com and found someone's house for 40 bucks. It was a pretty good haul to the stadium (little over a mile) but considering places even further away were asking well over 100 I was satisfied. And getting out after the match was a breeze.

That said, parking and traffic were not the nightmares I envisioned. Probably could've found somewhere even closer for about the same. I imagine a weekday game will be a bit tougher though.

Were there any pedicabs or anything? Taking a 5 year old to the world cup next week and i can already hear the complaining about the walk lol. I might pay a $100 or so to avoid the strain on my shoulders from a mile long piggyback ride.

This is a bummer. We parked there last night for the first time and it was great.

It is good to know that parking on the street is an option, too.

Thanks for the free parking while you could offer it.

I think I'm going to try and park there tomorrow afternoon. It's a 1:30 start…is that an issue since it's more of a normal work hours thing?

Or should we just park on the street?
Hincemm

park on the street probably best. WC stuff (despite no game) could make it still a little crazy.

Awesome. Thanks for the directions.

We parked on the street right across from Hinceman's lot under the tree, no problems. I think sections of Exchange have "no parking this side" signs so beware.

Game was at 3. Got there at noon. Left at 5:45.

I'm a little confused. Is the lot no good for Rangers games this month now too? Or is this noise about opportunists looking to exploit the World Cup?
Hincemm

should be good for rangers. world cup is iffy.

if push comes to shove, park along the north side of exchange (where there are no "no parking" signs)

All the cars out there today were on the south side….(which is where I parked).

Hope it's still there in a few hours.
