Does anyone know the parking situation for the duals? It's usually the worst idea ever with people transported by bus from an off site location. People complain about the competition, I say who gives a damn, let's just watch Hawks wrestle BUT good lord can we do something about the parking? People are actually taking off work to watch this...can we please help with better parking?

Rant over. Does anyone know the parking details?

 

[Wendy79]

There's not much you can do about the parking when you have people working and going to the hospital right next door. Uber is now available in Iowa City.

This is from a couple years ago, I think, but I imagine the gist of it is still true.
