Boo-Friggin-Hoo!

Don’t ignore Parking Signs and/or Damage Public Property (Park Grass is made for Playing, NOT Parking) and your vehicle will probably be waiting for you where you parked it.

We are Very Fortunate to Have a Parks & Rec’ Department of Such High Calibre, and They Don’t Deserve Being Skewered Because a Few Knuckleheads Had Their Vehicles Towed.

As Far as the BPD Storm Troopin’ Tailgater’s…

Forgive Me, But… Wasn’t it MUCH More Civil (Jovial Even) When The Ada County Sheriff’s Deputies were the Campus Cops at BSU?!?

Lowest Bidder. Wasn’t That the Reason BSU Switched to the BPD for Campus Cops?

Well… They Say You Get What Ya Pay For.

I agree with Sam above. Park rules are posted. They could have waited an extra hour for a game night though since this was so obvious where every driver was. I live near BSU and the fan parking has been out of control for years. There should be a happy medium here.

EDITOR NOTE–Seems they have plenty of cash for stadium expansion, luxury boxes, indoor practice field, but nothing for parking.

Perhaps the tailgaters need to learn to READ and follow the posted laws. Any one who can read when they park their tailgating party rigs, would notice that the signs in Juliea Davis Park warn people that there is a time limit to using the park as a parking lot. Or do the tailgaters just think that they are above the law? Obviously Roy does (or he just cannot read).

I support JD Towing in this matter. It’s good to know that the laws are for everyone, even BSU tailgaters. Too bad that the Boise Cops turn a blind eye to tailgaters taking up parking spots. Their blindness does not lend itself to others.

I am amazed that more tailgaters are not hauled off. They park their party vans in the park and the street a day or two before the games making it impossible for students to park on the street – (BSU does have students taking classes, people!)
Then BSU kicks the students, who have paid for their parking, out of the student parking the day of the game, so that fans can park for free.
