WOLF EXCLUSIVE: Super Parking Deals at Cowboys Stadium

If you are going to Super Bowl XLV today. There are only two reasonable parking options.

Center Point Church, located 1.2 miles down Collins Street, has canceled services on Super Bowl Sunday due to the expectation of increased traffic. The church will subsidize missed tithes by selling parking spots for $82.50 each.

The biggest parking bargain is still right across from the stadium at the Lincoln Square shopping center.

“We say ‘Free parking with a customer purchase’,” said Pam Dawson,  Lincoln Square manager.

The shopping center will let customers park in exchange for a $75 purchase at any of its businesses. Make the purchase, leave the receipt on the dashboard, and the parking is free.

Lincoln Square is on the southwest corner of I-30 and Collins, across the steet from Hooters.

The center uses the same deal during the regular season, except you only had to spend $40 to park for free.

“We raised it because merchants expected that,” Dawson said. “It is the Super Bowl.”

The parking spots at both Lincoln Square and Center Point Church are being sold on a first come, first served basis. None of the parking spaces were sold prior to today.

Many lots near Cowboys Stadium  have been selling parking spots for $990 during the week.  The price of any unsold spots went north of $1,000 this morning.

The 2011 Super Bowl XLV kickoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., CST today. Traffic is still light in the area and parking spots were still available at both venues at 11:30 a. m.
