Fall
semester brings extra parking challenges

to be unusually scarce at Sacramento State. The recent start
of construction on a new parking structure near the University’s
Stadium, which will help in the long-run, means that some
800 parking spots have been temporarily lost. That’s
nearly 10 percent of the parking on a campus where spots are
tough to come by anyway.
