Website helps BCS fans find parking | Business

When the Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers meet for the BCS Championship Game on Monday, Jan. 9, an expected 75,000 fans will pile into the Louisiana Superdome to watch their teams clash on the field. Thanks to ParkWhiz.com, a website that helps people find and reserve parking spots before heading to an event, fans won’t have to worry about the pre-game anxiety of clashing with other fans in securing a parking or tailgate spot.   

The parking information at ParkWhiz.com reflects real-time parking and tailgating availability at partner locations near the Superdome, enabling drivers to make a reservation and know for sure that a guaranteed spot will be waiting for them when they arrive. All prices are set by the parking lot owners and there are no hidden fees. In addition, ParkWhiz provides turn-by-turn directions to each parking lot to make sure the process is smooth and efficient, and helping fans save time, money, and frustration.  

“We couldn’t be more excited to help provide Crimson Tide and Tiger fans with a hassle-free Superdome parking experience,” says Aashish Dalal, CEO of ParkWhiz. “This bowl game represents THE most exciting day in college football and the fan’s experience shouldn’t be ruined because of parking.”

ParkWhiz has provided parking options near the Superdome for every major event since 2010, including last year’s Sugar Bowl and all Saints game.  In addition to this year’s BCS Championship Game, ParkWhiz will have parking options near the Superdome for the 2012 NCAA Final Four, and the 2013 Super Bowl.  With coverage now extending to over 100+ major venues, including Superdome, Lucas Oil Stadium, Cowboys Stadium and more, ParkWhiz is getting closer to creating a national inventory of event parking options for fans to have available at their fingertips.    

In addition to adding more nationwide coverage, ParkWhiz has focused on helping fans who are already enroute to their destination have a better stadium parking experience by using the ParkWhiz mobile web app.  The mobile web app allows people on-the-go to find and reserve parking right from their phone. The app is web-based, so drivers just need to point their phone's browser to parkwhiz.com <http://parkwhiz.com> . There's no hassle of downloading or installing an app.  It's free, and it works on iPhone, Android, iPod Touch, and some BlackBerry models.
