Pretty interesting. Talked about Parking Garage near Legends - don't know if that's still a probability with new Architecture building going there. Also talked about a garage northeast side of campus.
I would prefer underground garages. Of course they cost more than above ground, but I find their costs in this report a little inflated - $80,000,000 for 1000 car underground lot, $30,000,000 for above ground?
As part of Crossroads, there is an underground lot entrance near Legends. I have no idea what is down there, how big or how small. But there's a ramp down.
This is where the NBC/tv trucks/trailers/equipment now park. I'm sure there is some parking also (bigwigs, security, NBC staff?), but this is not a "public" lot that relieves some of the parking issues resulting from new buildings taking up former parking areas. And of course the ramp itself displaced surface parking spots - so probably a net deficit.
Edit: Also food service "A driving ramp leading underground has been built southwest of the stadium complex. That drive leads to underground loading docks and a commercial kitchen/catering service for the three buildings and the stadium."
There is some construction currently in a wooded area on northeast edge of campus (near the rugby field) that could be a new lot.
It's only money.
