There was also a HUGE health fair at Coca-Cola Center today and most of us exhibitors were also setting up our booths last night as well. I saw plenty of spaces available, it might not be in front of the door as some people are used to, but there were plenty of spaces. That's part of the urban lifestyle, WALKING.
You misinterpreted my post. I wasn't complaining about the walking. I was complaining that several of the lots said they were open and were in fact full. I hope that pay parking lot owners will better actively manage their lot status on busy nights in the future. I probably wasted 30 minutes entering lots each time to find that they were completely full, and then upon exiting had to explain to the attendant why I shouldn't be charged since I had literally just driven around and never parked.

I was talking about the pay lot directly adjacent to the Bricktown theater. I have no idea who owns it and I don't care.

I eventually parked in the garage in downtown at EK Gaylord and Main (at 7:30 p.m. I couldn't find any open lots in Bricktown anywhere I checked... and I checked quite a ways out), and walked to Bricktown from there. The walk only took 5 minutes or so and was nice. I just wish the signs on the lots in Bricktown accurately reflected their status, I would have just gone straight to that garage.
