BillsPride12 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I am heading up from WNY for my first training camp practice on Thursday and looking for advice on best place to park. I saw some posts before about there being a couple high schools you can park at and take a shuttle over to St. John Fisher. Is that a better move than parking right at the College? Is it crazy busy trying to park right at Fisher? Thanks for any help I can get on the topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17islongenough Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 You cannot park at the college unless you have a certain parking pass. You can park across the street but that will cost 15 to 20 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 When backing into the curb space, do not cut the wheel ‘hard right’ until you are even with the back bumper of the car that you will be parked behind. I think...maybe it’s easier just to park way down the street, and walk back. ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The only pro for parking across the street is that you can get to and from training camp quicker. The con is it costs $15 to park near and $10 to park further away. The shuttles only cost $1 but don't have AC, take more time to get there (obviously) and there can be a wait when trying to leave (my son hangs around for autographs so that leads to less wait time).

Yes it's closer but by about half that. I use Mendon because it's literally across the street from my childhood home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I always park at Southerland. So convenient. Quick and easy. About a 10 minute bus ride to camp. Close to 490. Folks that pay $20 to park in someone’s yard across the street baffle me. Take that extra $19 and put it toward some new Bills gear ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Gump Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) I live in Pittsford and take the shuttle from Sutherland, my old high school.

Just Joshin' Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Personally like parking across the street. Yes $13 more but worth it. No lines, no waiting, short walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since ‘couple’ can often be interpreted rather freely, if it was during the Ryan era, security assumed you were just another positional coach rolling in from an all night bender.
