Favorite cheap parking spots around the TUC

Parking lot I have been parking in is now blocked off. Any suggestions? (For Siena games)

I’ve seen people arriving early over 1 hr before the game and simply parking on the side streets between TUC & the bridge that brings traffic from Rensselaer to the plaza.

Other than that, parking in the TUC parking garage is as cheap as the outside lots.

It was worth 6 bucks to me to walk through the covered area to the parking garage and out quickly. At times paying for that convenience is worth it.

The parking lot I've gone to for quite a while was closed for one season due to construction. It had been $5. It's open this year with an attendant during the day. After hours,maybe 5 or 6 ? I don't know who parks there in the day during the week but it's always open and free to park there. Last year hardly anyone knew it was open again. The word must have gotten around this year because our past 3 or 4 home games we;ve had 50-60 cars in there. Come off Madison Ave on to Greene as if you are going to the Greyhound terminal. Take immediate left (toward the back of Key Bank which is on S. Pearl. The block is very short. If you look slightly left you will see the entrance to the parking lot. It takes you under the S. Mall Arterial.

I'm prefacing this suggestion by pointing out that technically you could probably get towed parking here...but I've parked here for years, for free, without an issue. Many other Siena fans do, too. There are security booths with lights on but are always empty.

See the map to understand where it is. It's on the ramp heading out of the plaza, and it's the first parking garage that's PAST the plaza closure so it's a stand-alone garage not the ones directly underneath it.

Isn't that east garage you're trying to present there. I think its represented on that map just below your drawing. East garage abuts the ramp to 787, its the only garage there. You can access the 787 ramp from the garage when you leave. It a good parking spot, short walk, no charge

Yes you're correct - I didn't vet my own drawing.

Where I park free is probably 150 yards from the front of the TUC. Stop in section 122 Row N seats 1 and 2 if you want me to explain it better. Go Saints!!

Not sure if people are aware but East Garage is free after 5 and on weekends and is right across the street from Excelsior Pub which offers happy hour both before and after the games, just tell them you are going/came from the game.
