I'm sure the local news stations will talk about it constantly b/w now and then.    Didnt say the time of the event at PPG.  Hopefully its in the morning or afternoon.

Well, if both of those are in the evening, there will be no parking. Thanks for the info. I guess I’ll be watching ESPN+ from home.

Parking at DU parking garage is for DU ticket holders only per DU today. You will need to show your game tickets to get into the garage so that's not a problem. Come early stay late. I just bought the women's game tickets and plan to spend a great day at Duquesne. Go Dukes !!!  And besides, the weather for Monday is about 73 degrees, just a great day to get there early and spend the day at Duquesne, just saying.

This kind of changes things. I hope that you're right about the Duquesne parking garage Napa. Keep checking. A no go for me. But I'm a glass half empty guy. 
 

As a season ticket holder, I got a e-mail stating, only ticket holders will get into our parking lot. I trust that DU will make our parking available to us first. Heck, they had better, LOL.

How are they going to prevent those folks from coming in and parking at 2:00 PM!!!

Great point FAM...
 

In an effort to be positive and not throw anyone under the bus, this is what I found out personally regarding Monday night from two folks in the athletic office.
1.  I received positive and kind responses from two folks in the athletic department with my questions over the weekend
2.  They do not control the parking garage;  however, with that said they were told by the University Police and parking garage folks that they will do everything they can to only have the following groups be permitted to use the garage:  a.  students.   b.  those with parking passes.  c.  those that are attending the game

This statement above causes me pause:  "Any fans who do not yet have tickets, inform the attendant you’re here for the women’s or men’s basketball games. You can get your tickets at goduquesne.com/tickets."  How is anyone going to be able to tell if someone is going to the game if they haven't bought their tickets.  This is illogical and can NOT be enforced.  Folks will lie and say they are going just to park there.  Phoenix, I don't want to burn any communication bridges...maybe you can ask this question of them.

My concern is if they let folks enter the turn in from the street, and then find out they are none of those, how are they going to be able to turn around and leave.  I did not receive an answer to that and sometimes when speaking with departments at Duquesne, I get the feeling they don't want to ask the hard questions of other departments (my opinion.). So, I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt.  I am going to go to the game as a season ticket holder, bring a friend who hasn't been to the game in years, and give them an opportunity to show how the athletic department, etc. has advanced to another level of making effective decisions regarding the teams and the fans.  I'll let everyone know after the game Monday night.

… IF they put up a sign and IF they check for tickets before folks get near the garage entrance because if they don’t they can’t turn around n can’t turn into the adjacent lot.

Plus, if you ask if they are going to the game that does not solve the issue of them saying yes just to park there.

We shall see…

You must show a ticket!  That was stated clearly in the thread.

You're right. It could be worse, like a Penguin game.

Im driving 3 hours to watch my beloved Bluffites and so their arent any excuses for not showing up and cheering our A10 champs to victory.ALL HAUL TO THEE DUQUESNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I’m A season ticket holder and didn’t get ANY notice.  Don’t know what this is going to be like especially with the city advising people not going to this rally to stay out of the city.  He is scheduled to speak at 6 but my understanding is that he is rarely on time.  Haven’t made a decision yet on whether to go or not.

Thanks athletic department and parking folks.  No issues parking.  great job!
