I don't have a parking pass....yet - Rando - 08-29-2011
I know they are semi-cheap. Do I really need one? Can I park somewhere around the campus and just walk. Help me out please :)

Go to the Parking and Transportation department's website and look for C lots. Those are unregulated on the weekend, I think...unless Stanford has turned into UT where ad hoc signage sprouts on every parking sign dictating that gameday means off-limits. I doubt it though. You can always park near a Marguerite stop and bus it in. I think the San Antonio shopping center shuttle runs on the weekends.

Parking is cheap in the eucalyptus groves near the stadium and up to last year it was free. It's not a big issue if you get to the stadium reasonably early.

The most famous "Season Ticket Holder" type parking lots now all require semi-expensive season ticket parking passes.
The other lots that normally are associated with football game day parking now all cost money. $15, I think.
If ~$15 is not a big deal, then just drive up and you will be fine.
Imagine $15 is worth keeping. You have several options. The "A" Lots and the "C" lots over campus are all restricted to permits between 6AM & 4PM M-F. That means they are open on Saturday, unless they are designated football game lots. And most are not. Many are not really that far from the stadium and would require a short walk through campus. For example, the lot near Tressider creates a nice walk through campus option. Most parking options at UCLA, U...S...C, and C.a...l, are all much farther away, and cost big money. But it is true that not that long ago parking was free, and that is clearly changing on THE FARM.
Ironically, the football parking fee program includes lots that are right next to the Stanford Shopping Center. I am sure that is not a good situation, as it creates an obvious solution for those looking to hold on to $15. I would only guess that the Stanford Shopping Center has had some veto ability on parking fees in the past, but that is just my guess.

Season parking passes work out to $10 per game for the same lots that are $15 per game without the pass.
I didn't think of this when I bought my tickets, but the underground structure near Stern isn't a bad walk, and will probably have plenty of spaces.

Here's a link to the parking map:

The parking map indicates that there is free parking in the Wilbur Hall parking lots, the Wilbur Field underground parking structure, and the parking structure behind the museum.

That's the one I meant, the Wilbur underground lot.
