Re: Parking in St. Louis

From Bill's Blog: "Large vehicle parking is available on 5th and Cole Street directly behind the dome for $35 for a 24 hour period. Be sure to mention you are a FRC team as the usual rate is $75."

I agree that it's a lot, but the hotel parking rate in Boston was $35/day, and teams have told me that NYC is $50 per day. In Hartford our parking lot charged $20 per day for a regular car (we were able to get some discount tickets for teams to use). Our Atlanta hotel charged $24/day for hotel guests to park a car, and $75 overnight parking for large vehicles.

So I guess it's not unusual, even if a lot of money just to park a vehicle.
