Yes but the fences are still awful

And to be clear, I was super annoyed with them during football season as well.

I understand the fence dislike. If I can convince you to walk a little farther on the sidewalk to where we have officers, you'll have an easier time.

I tried to cross at the intersection with officers for baseball and was told to follow the fence down to the cross walk in front of the track....Where there aren't officers.

They spent the money on the cop telling everyone to use the sidewalk before the game

Along with the 100 ft of fencing to make you go down and use the cross walk.

We all managed to live without it before dammit.

That fence pisses me off every damn game! I get there so early there's no traffic & I still can't cross the street!

Don't know anything about the fence issue...my main issue was coming out of the Reed Lot onto Tom Chandler. This was a dangerous situation and not because I'm impatient. With 10 people crossing at once, a car could easily think that all the pedestrian are waiting on him, so the car starts to move and out runs a six year old between mom and dads legs. That could easily happen at that intersection without someone there to manage the situation.

Another solution would be to barricade that exit up by Reed and not even let cars out of that exit. That would solve another, equally as dangerous, problem as well. The intersection of Tom Chandler and Penberthy is not a 4 way stop. So after I almost hit someone turning right onto Tom Chandler from Reed, I then had to basically force my vehicle into a steady line of traffic going 25 mph. I really had no other option, other than wait 20 minutes for the entire back Reed lot to empty.

Obviously I learned my lesson and will do it differently next time to avoid these pinch points, but every game will be someone's first game, or first time parking at Reed.

My 2 cents...though usually it's worth alot more than that

I feel like I should legally be allowed to cross at a crosswalk right? I might just start walking across next time and see what they do... #rebel

I tried....The parking attendant guy standing in the middle of the street literally would not let me. He guy stepped in front of me with no cars around and shuffled his feet laterally as I tried to get past him. I quickly gave in and kept quiet because my better judgement kicked in before I caused something I didn't want to.

Maybe the trick was on me because he really knows how absurd this rule is and is practicing Abraham Lincon's quote of "The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly."

I was surprised with the overwhelming (and unnecessary) traffic control yesterday. I was not a fan. Took me twice as long to get off campus. What's the point in that?

Not that it's an issue often but for basketball games when Reed is near full, it takes a ridiculously long time to get out of Olsen. The last two times I've parked there for basketball it has taken 20+ minutes to just get out of the parking lot. People working the more kept letting other sides go when no one was backed up there and there would be hundreds of cars waiting to get out of Olsen.

No post game traffic control and I crossed the street successfully and there's no traffic in sight

Also seems like they figured out people were parking free in H lot and now are charging to park there.
