It's not 1k, closer to $250.
Last year they ran a promotion about donating $100 bucks and getting Tyee benefits. I call, and ask if that includes the opportunity to purchase an E1 parking pass. Nope. So not tyee benefits. I went on the market and found someone in Tyee who would not be driving, and had them pick up a pass for me. UW still got the $250 for the pass, but missed out on additional money I would have given for the right to purchase a pass. And yes, the lot is easily half empty with the exception of cuog or dcuks.
If you know anyone who is retired from the UW they should get free parking on campus as well, even on game day at someplace like the garage under red square or outer lots near like the Burke.
Before you pile on I've been clear I hate money and have no life.
A friend of mine who is a former player was the Husky Legend for a game a few years ago. UW GAVE HIM FREE PARKING AT A DORM GARAGE AND HE AND HIS FAMILY HAD TO WALK ABOUT THREE MILES TO THE FUCKING STADIUM.
100% true story.
That is fucking insane. The Husky Legend should have a party bus or SUV driving them to where they want for that day.
This or maybe make use of the fucking lake 100 yards from Husky Stadium and charter a boat for them. Put them on different Argosy boats as a treat for fans instead of them walking through campus and fans saying “is that so and so?”
Unless it’s some like Mickens or P-Salm. Make them walk.
Meh, Psalm would just take it as another opportunity to go naked and twirl his fire pole.

I sometimes wonder if the person who made P-Salm’s highlight video was upset when P-Salm turned down the NFL for rugby.
