Question about Parking Passes

[oldgoat]

Hello all! I am a new season ticket holder and would like to ask a few questions if I may.

How difficult is it to obtain a COA for parking in Lot C or Lot D? How much should I expect to pay if I do find one? What is the face value of the annual parking pass?

I paid $30 per game at Longworth last year, the parking passes on Ebay seem to be at least that much x 10 games. What is the advantage of having a parking pass vs. $300 for the season at Longworth?

Thanks for the help, looking forward to a great season. I'll do believe we will surprise!

There are no more parking spaces available from the Bengals, therefore you will have to buy on the secondary market eg eBay. COA's for these lots, which are tailgate legal and close to the stadium, will probably cost between $1500 to $2500, unless you get lucky and find someone who is unaware of the market.

The Bengals currently charge $360 for an annual parking pass and I think the advantage is proximity to the stadium.

A word of warning. The Bengals do not own these lots, therefore it is possible that The Banks project will use the land for Lot B C & D eventually. If at all possible I would buy Lot 1 or 1U. That side of the stadium is out of the development zone.

Thanks so much for the update! One more question though, please! If I can park at Longworth for $30 per game, where is the advantage of paying for a COA parking pass? Parking never seemed to be a problem in the few games I came down to, is it the "privledge" of parking 100 ft. closer?

I gather you are a tailgater. When I go with my son, I pay the $ 30 to park at Longworth and tailgate. However when alone, and not tailgating, my top 2 choices are:

Newport Mall. Parking is $ 3 (three dollars), and the very frequent shuttle is $ $1.25 each way. Can't beat it. Good restaurants too. No tailgating.

Next: Park in GABP-inside. Parking is $ 20 (or at least was last year). This is my choice for inclement weather, and night games. No tailgating though.

Definitely a tailgater! Is there any other way?:huh:

Just trying to understand the attraction of purchasing a parking COA and then paying even more for parking to tailgate. Where is the advantage? Why do you do it? Someone metioned the cost is $360 per year, $60 more per year than Longworth, and then you have to buy the parking COA, too. I just don't see why.

Then don't

Longworth is a free for all.... if some of the other lots "go away" you may not be able to get into Longworth anymore due to the increase in activity.

In LOT D there is more of a "territory" thing, where people park in the same place every time and they know each other..... etc. It makes it nice if for some reason you are running late or what have you. If you get to Longworth late you may be out of luck or have to park in a crappy area

Also a lot of the other lots are quite a bit closer to the stadium. LOT D is right next to it
