As for parking, it is a convenience but by no means a requirement. If you are willing to walk a little bit and enjoy seeing the campus, you can park across University ave. for free on Saturdays. It's also an easier egress from the University after the game.
Thank you for the welcome.
It is a shame that more regular citizens do not attend their local collegiate athletic events. For several years I have been a season ticket holder for USF men's basketball. The WCC Conference has legitimate D1 level talented teams, including BYU, Gonzaga etc..., but USF's home game average attendance , in a gymnasium with a seating capacity of about 6,000, is probably only 2,500. Current student and faculty attendance is dismal, maybe averaging 50 people a game. The majority the ticket buying spectators are aged USF alumni. I did not attend USF, but do enjoy watching college basketball, and the campus is less than 10 minutes from my house, so I buy tickets.
