Wanted to share what we experienced tonight and see if I am out of line. My wife and I have had season basketball tickets (and football) for 37 years. We have always parked in the Bennet Hall parking lot. When we were working we could do that with our faculty parking permit. When we retired my wife was able to get a free parking permit since she had worked and purchased parking permits for at least 20 years. I also got an OSU paycheck and bought permits for 21 years but two of those years I was on a graduate assistantship and not full time so I could not get the retiree permit.
We usually drive my wife’s car to the games but we could not tonight. When we got back to my car we had a parking ticket on the car. Not a warning- a $40 ticket!!
Since the students are mostly not here because all classes are now online there were plenty of parking spaces in the Bennet Hall lot.
I have recently had another experience with the lack of athletic department support of long term supporters. They only seem to care about big donors and have no consideration for those of us that have supported them for decades.
Am I out of line to be upset?
