Which do you think is better - Greenwood or Rivers St Parking Deck?

I qualify for Greenwood but have remained in Rivers Street Deck because of its proximity to campus and town.

That was my feeling, that it's probably closer than Greenwood. I'm looking to move up to that level and was thinking about asking to stay in Rivers St.

How is the parking situation in Rivers Street Deck? I'll be parking there this year and curious about the ease of getting out after games...

Interested in this answer as well, though I don't qualify for either yet. My guess would be the Rivers St. deck is better for ease of exit, but Greenwood is better for tailgating.

I like Greenwood because of the numbered space (assured parking). Plus I can take the back way out of Boone. If the wife is with me we/she shops in town and then we can drive over in time to do Yosef room and see warmups before game.

Have done both. Wife prefers Rivers St. because those stairs get to her on the way back up to Greenwood. Have had no problem getting out of parking deck after the games. Greenwood is great if you are looking to get out of Boone the back way.

I've done both and each have its pros and cons. Just my 2 cents.

Greenwood
Pros - numbered parking, we had some good tailgates with lots of people around, I personally like to get out and put up the tent and fly my flags
Cons - that hike back, not a good spot if you like to go to campus, like the bookstore or go to King St.

Raley Deck
Pros - Convenient to campus, great if the weather is bad, or if you get lucky and people aren't saving spots, you can get on the 3rd level (I think, it's the 3rd), where it's half covered and half open. Good place to be if all you want to do is park and go tailgate elsewhere
Cons - The prime spot is on that 3rd level where you can tailgate out in the open area, but it's typically the first to fill and people have a tendency to save spots. The porta johns are out in front of the deck on the ground level, not very convenient after some drinks or three.

I never said I ALWAYS went to the porta johns.

The Library Deck is the best for me. It's very close to downtown/King St and the bookstore. Also, it's extremely easy to get out onto 421 after the game.

I prefer the stadium lot

Our son "graduates" from young alum status this year and would qualify for Rivers St, Greenwood, Liberry, (and maybe Duncan / Raley????). From a little kid perspective (2 1/2 when season starts) which one is your favorite?

Daphne, just my $.02, but my daughter was about that age when we first started. Duncan lot, because of less traffic, grassy area to play and at that time was close to the kid pre-game thing they used to do. Also, Duncan was at that time open so they could go inside if too cold for the kids. Same where we are now in the music lot, would love to have you guys!

For the record, there is a shuttle from Quinn to Greenwood after the games.
