Beer, music used as incentives
Game-day parking enhanced by benefits
By DARRELL PRESTON Staff Reporter
A sign with the words "Parking, Free Beer" scrawled across a tattered sheet of cardboard beckons football fans searching for a place to park. The sign's owner — a man wearing a feathered straw hat and holding a trumpet — tries to get the drivers' attention.
"Help put a man through school. I need to eat, too," shouts barker Pete Engelman, Columbia, Mo., senior, at a line of circling motorists vying for a parking place close to Memorial Stadium.
A car slows and someone asks the price for a parking spot.
"Five dollars," Engelman responds. Too much. The car moves on.
ANOTHER CAR approached Engelman, who sang, shouted and played his trumpet anything to hawk purposes. He made 11th and 125th streets Saturday.
Finally, a car pulls in and Engelman directs the driver to the lot of a nearby house.
"It's getting late. You're wasting gas. You better pack it." he velled.
For two hours of parking cars, Engelman earned $35, his share of the money after paying for a kog of beer minting the cash with his coworkers.
Engelman is one of hundreds of Lawrence residents with access to space to rent near Memorial Stadium. On game days, people rent their yards and parking lots and their landlords' yards and parking lots so the thousands of football fans who descend on Lawrence can have places to park
He said he raised the price more if a big crowd was expected.
PARKING PRICES Saturday ranged
"WE MADE $387 from the Missouri game last year, with no free beer. Our lot and yard was full a half hour before the game," he said. "We always felt bad about that one. We should have charged more."
Another entrepreneur, Heather
"We check how many diamond rings they have and then we set the price. Of course we always charge more for Nebraska and Oklahoma."
Heather Young Parking attendant
from $2 for spaces over two blocks from the stadium, to more than $3 for places
Engelman he changed his price at different times during the morning, until finally, just before kickoff, he competition's price so he could fill his lot.
"It's important not to put the price on your sign, so you can lower and raise it."
Jamie Gilbert, Pittsburgh sophomore,
said that as kickoff time approached
and parking became scarce, he raised
the parking price at the Triangle
West with his 18th annual members raise money by selling parking places.
Young, said she sized up a customer's financial status before deciding how to pay.
they have and then we set the price," she said. "Of course, we always charge more for Nebraska and Oklahoma."
"FREE BEER brings them in when there are more people in the car." Engelman said. "The trumpet doesn't hurt either. People always tell me to be careful when setting up show. You attract their attention, then you sell them a snare."
Engelman and Gilbert both used beer and music to entice fans to park in their enclosed space.
Triangle fraternity members use
beer and music to create a party atmosphere, Gilbert said.
"You go to a football game to have fun, so why not start out that way?" he said. "Our signs say 'Park and Party,' and that's what we want people to do. If I had driven from Oklaahoma, I would want a beer when I got here."
Selling parking places is a way for the fraternity to raise money for social functions and repairs to the house, Gilbert said.
PARKING INCOME is also used for house repairs where Young and her brothers park cars. She said that 50 percent of the parking money had been used for improvements to the apartment building, such as adding storm drains and landscaping, or refurbishing. The other half is divided up among residents and parkers.
Young, who graduated from the KU School of Law last spring and is waiting to take the Kansas bar exam, said she had often many of her customers over the years.
"A LOT OF lawyers have parked here. Every year they would come and ask whether I had graduated," she said. "Now that I have graduated, they make suggestions about where to get jobs."
Gilbert said the only problems he had with parking had been people banging the windows of his car.
Downtown negotiations going well
Negotiations between the city and a development firm to get a memorandum of agreement for the proposed downtown redevelopment project are proceeding well, the Lawrence-Douglas County planning director said Friday.
Price Banks, the director, said he expected that within 30 days the city would reach an agreement with Sizerel Realty Co. Inc., Kenna La.
On Sept. 28, the Lawrence City Commission designated Sizerel as developer of record for the proposed redevelopment project.
Banks said city officials and representatives of the development firm met in Chicago to discuss their plans.
which is expected to include provisions for a basic project design, required public improvements, an initial plan and a timetable for the project.
Participating in the meeting last week were Gerald Cooley, an attorney for the city's law firm, Buford Watson, city manager, Dean Falos, a city-county planner who has been working extensively on the downtown project, Lynn Goodell, community development director, and Banks.
Sizerel was represented by Tom Davidson, president, and Sydney Lassen, chairman of the board. Arthur
Davis, president of the architectural firm working with Sizer, also partici-
Banks said the negotiations went well.
"I think both sides are excited about the prospect of what's going to happen downtown," he said. "I think we're all agreeing, agreement, it looks very promising."
