Yes... it's time for Robert, or Eric A.  to write up "officially"  what's going to happend with the Parking situation  NOW so that we can start to post it on the forums. ASAP.   We need it to include all the details we can give.  I know I'm going to be hit with the questions at my Game Day the Saturday, and I would like to know what to say as the "party line."  - Heather

Parking rumors just broke wide open. We need to respond right away.

Any idea if the hotel will start their work yet? Anyone know a person
in city hall that can stall that permit?

Whoa.

Is *all* of the hotel's parking going to be shut down? That is not
what has been implied (though they *have* been pussyfooting around the
issue).

If that is the case, the convention should be *very* explicit about
that; or they are going to have a *lot* of annoyed-to-pissed-off
people in their face.

Mandatory offsite parking will seriously impact attendance; I know at
least a few people who simply will not deal with that. And, if people
do have to park elsewhere, everyone with SPG cards (from the time at
the Westin) will probably opt to stay at the Sheraton Gateway, which
counts for SPG points, and is cheaper. Not so good for the Radisson or
the convention.

This move is looking worse and worse; I chalked the issues with the
hotel *last* time up to growing/changing pains (even though the issues
aren't actually likely to go away or get better), but this is sounding
even worse...

Patrick, care to chime in with something approaching an official word?  :)

Does anyone know if the con rate includes parking? I know it is off
site, but I can't find if it is still included. Does not make sense if
they knocked 10 bucks off the room to charge us 13 for off site
parking. Who would have thought I would miss the Westin!
