Parking on College Station streets south of Kyle Field will continue to free.
That’s the direction five city council members gave to staff during a review of a pilot program in June when there was a charge to park on city streets for the George Strait concert and an international soccer match.
The council majority wanted to keep free street parking for residents of the Southside neighborhood.
The council was told that the city generated a profit of more than $13,000 dollars during June’s two special events.
The council was also told during the George Strait concert, 361 parked vehicles did not pay. No tickets were issued and no vehicles were towed.
Staff estimated paid parking during Texas A&M home football games could generate $100,000 to $300,000 dollars.
