It's just not something they can handle, or want to handle, even once a year.

Try it in Clemson.
Enrollment is 19,000
The town has a population of 24,000 INCLUDING enrollment.
Every on campus parking spot for students, faculty, maintenance vehicle everything is sold as reserved parking for season ticket holders. Additionally parking is all over the school in any grass areas. literally on campus students are required to move their cars off campus on game days...an aggravation on a saturday, an impossibility on a school day. Now consider that as a donor i pay $2,400/year for that parking spot, and you now tell me I cant use it for one game. lol
