OK, so did you tailgate in the paved area under the overpass or in the grassy lot that is on the river?

We're looking at other lots to purchase passes. We have anywhere from 4-5 carsloads of people who tailgate. We arrive at different times, so we would hope we could have a place where the first person to arrive can save spots. We did this in the grassy area of lot X.

I would like to know this also. I called fan services twice last week and was told it was owned by the city and would open up 4 hours before gametime and the second time I was told it would open 3 hours before gametime. We showed up at 4:15 and was told by the worker that it would open 2 hours before game time. We had four other cars coming down to meet us after 4:30. We also were told at the gate that the grassy lot X would not be open at all for the entire season and that a small paved lot under the overpass was now called Lot X. And, the lots are not owned by the city but a company named Landmark. As we talked to her, two cars drove up with X tags hanging from their rear view mirrors, leading us to believe that spaces have already been sold for that paved lot. And we were told we have to move our car NOW. So, we had to scramble to try to find a place where five cars could tailgate, not knowing anything about parking lots since Lot X is the only one we're familiar with.

I would like fan services to get their act together and not give our false information about parking.

So, did anyone get to park in Lot X? Is it still open to first comers or are all of the spost pre-sold? We now have to figure out where to tailgate for this season.[/quote]

I also contacted fan services. They had a gentleman from the company that manages the lot call me. I spoke to Bob, and told him your story. He apologized for any confusion that day. It seems that the development company that owns the lot retains several spaces for their employees to use on gameday. That explains the lot X tags. He went on to say that the remaining spaces are first come first serve, and that the lot is scheduled to open 3 hours before gametime. He has my name, and I have his # in my phone. He asked me to call him Saturday with any issues. He said he will be coordinating lots, and will come there if neccessary.

Case closed??? I hope so. See you at lot X Saturday 4pm!!!

I have always parked at the fairgrounds for much more $$$, great location though.

If I want to start parking in X what time do I need to arrive for the one oclock games by.

I come in heading south on 95 and take the union street exit. What is the best way to get to this lot from that direction.

Thanks

Guy

This is a shame. It seems like such a simple thing to handle, yet it appears to get botched for every game. There were a few games last year where the attendants arrived late, and so the opening of the lot was delayed. That may be what happened to you.

If there is a pass required, where do you get it???? This whole thing is retarded. The only reason I am pressing is because I like that lot. There is lots of space, and the walk down under the Hart Bridge ramp between all the tailgate parties is a lot of fun!

FYI- A physical recon of Lot X confirmed the overheads. However, construction seems to have halted. Though there is less room this year, there seems to be plenty of space to park cars.

RE: Parking Lot X

Welcome2Duval — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:53:16 GMT

I DO! :w00t: I have considered that fact. However...last year the lot was made of asphalt that was so old grass had grown over it almost completely. That means the pavement was VERY old. The overheads show site prep going on with piles of dirt, pipe, and excavating equipment. Unless the contractor's job was to build a deteriorated asphalt parking lot, I'd say that the photos reflect changes made since last season.

I will add that the CIA photo analysts I brought in concur. There is also a possibility that the Russians have installed medium range ballistic missiles on Lot X.

Check the googlemaps overhead on lot X. They are heavy into construction there. I am thinking we need to find a new spot! That sucks. I really like the open space in lot X.[/quote]

You do realize that that those shots from google maps are a couple of years old?

According to the Jaguars office, lot X will be closed for the preseason, but AVAILABLE for the regular season, and all 2 or 3 home games in the playoffs. :D

I think that we will have to get to it from the Hart Bridge instead of the Main Street Bridge, down Bay Street. I may drive down there tomorrow and check things out.

You guys really need to learn the ropes of parking. You can get much closer to the stadium, with easy escape, for 10 bucks or even free if you arrive early. Closer than X. PM for details.

RE: Parking Lot X

DaDaJagos — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 15:11:37 GMT

I hope not. That's one of the best lots to park at, in my opinion. Its about a 10 min walk to the stadium, you can be next to the river if you get there early enough and it's only $20 a car. Can someone find out for sure about this?

Parking Lot X

JagFan27 — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:15:54 GMT

I heard a rumor that Parking Lot X will not be in existence for next season. This was the furthest west lot (corner of A. Phillip Randolph and Bay) on the river. They were not reserved spots and cost $20 per car.

Does anyone have any information about Parking Lot X for next season?
