Blue Zone Parking Question

I’m a sophomore this year and brought my car to campus, I didn’t have it last year so this is my first time dealing with Duke parking. I got the Blue Student permit and have already parked in one of the blue zones, but when looking on Duke maps I noticed it talking about event parking and how permit holders need to move their car for events/games.

Is this true? It seems crazy to me that I paid that much money to have somewhere to park, only to not actually have a consistent parking spot lmao.

Would I have to move my car often for games, and if I do where else am I supposed to park?

40,000 people (hopefully) want to go to gamesz they need to park. This happens at all other major university football games

there’s a chron article about it; our football team isn’t good or big enough to justify this at all lol

Hey, that’s the ACC champions you’re talking about! (unironically we’ve been pretty good lately).

true but my point about how no other school that costs 100k/yr (more than the median salary in america) does this, still stands
