Michele Russell, St. Louis junior, who parks in the lot next to Memorial Stadium, said the parking garages were a good idea. She said she would

be willing to pay more for a parking permit if more spaces were available.
Russell said the possibility of a parking garage overlooking the hill did not bother her.
