Freshman parking advice please

<p>I need to know if anyone of you that had or have a red decal parking decal ever tried to park at the red decal lot near Hume, but could not find a space?</p>

<p>The last thing I want is to get to Gainesville one night and not have a place to park.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>

<p>i’ve never heard of there being absolutely no parking. i’ve never even needed to go to the top floor.</p>

<p>aforatumn thanks. can you tell me how long have you been parking there?</p>

<p>freshman year, and then occasionally my sophomore year when the upper-classmen red was full in the murphree area.</p>

<p>My S parked there all last year (Fall 2010-Spring 2011). Despite my worries about parking, he always found a parking place. If it was really full, he had to park (within the garage) closer to Hume than to Gale Lemerand Dr. But, he always found a spot. He did get ticketed for “backing” into a parking spot instead of pulling straight in, so be aware of that. And, he had to be parked in the bottom 2 1/2 levels for each home football game…but mid week before each game, he would just be sure to secure lower level parking, which is what he usually had. They send you a reminder email before each home game to make sure you remember.</p>
