That makes sense, but is there any way to deal with the parking problem on campus? It usually costs $2.50 per hour in the garages, but can the U ever allow free parking for an event? If no one knows, I can find out. The U also has some off-campus buildings, like the one I work in... http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/maps/WBOB/ http://tinyurl.com/2yg582 ...where it seems that our large parking lot adjacent to the building is free to all on any Sundays if there is no Twins or Vikings game (e.g., 6/24, 7/1, 7/8, 7/29, 8/12, 8/26 would be possible days). We could almost certainly get a room near the parking lot and on the same floor. Mike
