New Town Parking Plan in Effect on Game Days
A new downtown Boone parking plan will go into effect this Saturday, September 12, for ASU’s first home football game versus McNeese State. The goal of the plan is to preserve all King Street parking spaces between Appalachian and Water Street and the town’s Depot Street lot for patrons of downtown businesses.
Beginning six hours before the game kickoff time, four parking “ambassadors” will answer parking questions and direct special event motorists to designated lots with fee parking.
The designated lots for special event parking will be the Queen Street parking lot used for town employees on weekdays, the metered spaces on Queen Street, the Town Hall parking lot and the Horn in the West parking lot on Horn in the West Drive. Visitors will be charged $15 to park in one of these lots. Parking will only be allowed in the Horn in the West lot after 1:00 p.m. because the lot is reserved for the Watauga County Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings.
The Queen Street lot features 110 spaces available for special event parking. Sixty spaces are available in the Queen Street metered spaces—30 spaces are reserved for persons with Queen Street parking permits. The Town Hall lot has 40 spaces, and the Horn in the West lot has 279 spaces.
