Gameday parking
confronted by RHA
By Kim Sweet
Staff Reporter
Residence hall students are per
turbed that Nebraska Boosters are sell
ing their parking spots on football game
* days and keeping them from their enti
tled parking.
The issue was brought up by the
Residential Enhancement Committee
at Sunday’s Residence Hall Association
meeting. Students had complained that
they were unable to park in their pur
chased spots, said Jadd Stevens, resi
dential enhancement chairman.
The Nebraska Boosters are allowed
to sell parking spots at die University of
Nebraska-Lincoln to fans in some stu
dent and faculty parking lots, color
coded red, blue and green.
Before the game, the boosters drive
around the lots and tally the number of
open parking spaces. The number of
spaces open determine the number of
spots the boosters sell.
This is causing problems among
students who look for spots in parking
lots that are currently oversold anyway,
Stevens said.
Students with reserved spots in the
yellow sections also are finding their
spots filled by game fans. Boosters aren’t
supposed to sell spots in these areas, but
I
fans park in these lots without realizing
they aren’t supposed to park there.
This is caused by confusion about
where the blue and green parking lots
end and where the gold ones begin,
RHA President Ben Wallace said
Many students are forced to park in
reserve lots. One senator said safety was
an issue during night games. Students
who park in reserve lots have to walk far
to get home during the night hours.
Some don’t feel safe.
Other students who already have
parking permits are being charged by
the boosters.
If an incident like this occurs or
another problem arises related to park
ing on game days, a formal complaint
needs to be filed by the student with
Parking Services, Stevens said
Stevens said the issue will be
approached in a way that will keep rela
tions between Parking Services and stu
dents positive. “We’ll seek out whatever
benefits both sides the best,” he said.
Wallace also felt that approaching
Parking Services in a friendly manner
was important.
“We need to explore all our avenues,
decide what we want to do, and deal
with it in a professional manner.”

Mayor Mike Johanns said
Sunday that the federal emer
gency assistance funding was
vital.
“There is no way the city bud
get could pay the entire cost of the
cleanup,” he said.
Johanns said Sunday that he
had spent his Saturday driving
around the city and speaking with
those who spent their day remov
ing broken limbs and trees from
their property.
“(Saturday) was a huge day,”
he said. “Even with the football
game in town people really, really '
got out and helped.”
Douglas said that because
LES still had the help of about
200 outside electricians, she
wished if there were trees and
limbs that were going to fall,
they’d fall.
“It’s best for it to happen today
so we can deal with them and get
back to normal,” she said. “The
main thing is that we still have
workers here who can help us.”
