Parking at World's 12.00 a day?

Someone just posted this on the forum From the Stanford parking website: "One-day "Visitor" scratcher permits (which allow parking in Pay & Display lots and at meters), available for $12 each at the P&TS office (open weekdays 7:30 a.m. -5 p.m.)." So, unless the LOC has made special arrangements you can plan on $12/day for parking, and hope that space is available once you pay for the parking pass. You've got to be kidding me..... If it's 12.00 dollars a day that is so unfair..... I don't think I'll be able to afford going to the pool except on competition days. I think my motel is 2 miles away..... Looks like I'm walking....... I love getting taken advantage of. - Note: I remember now.... Orginally I had called the college and was told it was free...... I'm going back to my notes.... This is so unacceptable........

    Jennifer- I don't know what parking will turn out to be, but one of the reasons I didn't go to Worlds was that it would be expensive. California is very expensive, some very expensive real estate in Palo Alto. Having said that, I feel embarassed by your vehemence on this subject. Many swimmers end up car pooling at meets like this, or as said elsewhere, using public transportation. Perhaps save the histrionics for something important?
