I'm not sure if this is the appropriate post, but I was looking for recommendations for (hopefully free) places to park around C-U for the game. My dad and I usually travel separately from hours away and we only have one parking pass for lot 42 this year. Normally we've gotten down early and he has parked in the lot behind Murphy's for free. I would pick him up from there and we would drive to lot 42. With all of the changes that happen every year, I was wondering if somebody could confirm that lots is still there and available or if you have any other recommendations for coming down to the game.
I know I can buy parking for $20 but was looking for a free alternative. Thanks in advance.
Behind Murphy's was completely redeveloped so that lot is sadly gone. You could potentially use street parking in the same area though. Lot A9 is still nearby there as well.
My family and I would frequently park on the east end of Pennsylvania Ave as some of the University lots near there didn't get turned into paid tailgating and take a nice stroll down Penn to the stadium. You could always try that area!
