Lot 2 tailgating - 82lsju - 06-02-2024

UPDATE: the logs have been removed!!!

I was by Lot 2 (aka El Camino Grove) today and there are at least three "groves" of trees that now have log fences around them, anyone know what's going on?  I'm assuming it is to protect the trees from people parking under them at football games and the few other event that use the lot.

I blame John Doerr and the new School of Sustainability.

That’s a lot work to protect the oaks for 6 days a year.  Part of the seemingly annual assault on tailgating for football.  The athletic department can’t be happy.  How will that impact available spaces in lot 2?

within this circle of logs there were generally three groups of tailgaters with typically 6-8 cars plus their tailgating set ups.  I'm assuming we'll now park adjacent to the logs (although on the side this was taken from it is sort of part of the "road", so we'll have more space to tailgate and/or more people could tailgate under the trees, but be parked outside the logs.  If they don't let us park there not sure how excited people will be either hauling their stuff to the site or dropping the stuff off, parking elsewhere, then having to drive back to get the stuff after the game (of curse this year the lot may see lower usage given the shift in opponents...

Actually, that lot is used as overflow parking for baseball and most other sports.  It's often pretty full on Saturdays in the spring.

I may have misunderstood the location of lot 2.  Gostanford.com was ... not helpful.  Apologies if I got it wrong.

the unpaved lot between the football stadium and El Camino and between Galvez and Sam McDonald Road.  While the end of the lot toward Sam McDonald Road might see baseball, soccer, rugby, and softball parking my picture is from the other end of Lot 2 which probably only sees parking, other than for football games, for graduation and the occasional Earthquakes game in the stadium.  The blocked off area by Gate 10 is also very close to Galvez, the other blocked off area near Gate 12 was closer to Sam McDonald than Galvez.

I ride by Lot 2 on most weekends in the spring and summer and I have never seen cars down by the two areas near Galvez that have the new tree barriers.
