So you want to
go to the Big Game or just hang out for the ambiance but are worried
about how to find a spot to park and how much you’ll have to fork
over to safely house your car?
No need to
sweat it! Angie’s List has more than 600 spots within steps of a
city bus stop or a brisk, but scenic walk to Lucas Oil Stadium. And
your $20 payment for a day’s worth of parking will go to the
company’s Handy Helpers program, which helps neighborhood at-risk
children and other nearby community organizations.
For inquiries
or to reserve more than 10 parking spots, email Angie’s List at parking@angieslist.com .
Reservations are not required. Parking will be assigned on a
first-come, first-served basis other than any reserved areas.
“We’re as
excited as everyone else about the game,” said Angie Hicks, founder
of Angie’s List, the nation’s premier provider of consumer reviews
on local service companies and doctors.
Opening up our
parking lots over the weekend benefits those headed downtown for the
game and festivities while supporting the Handy Helpers. It’s a
win-win for everyone.”
Angie’s List
parking lots are situated on the company’s campus just east of
Interstate 65 between East Washington and Market streets. Angie’s
List staff will direct traffic and collect fees.
The closest
city bus stop is outside the Angie’s List front door at 1030 East
Washington. The 30-minute walk to the stadium is lined with an
assortment of entertainment opportunities. So you may want to plan
on extra time if you’re hoofing it. If you’re in a multi-car group,
meet at Angie’s List, carpool park just one car closer to the
action.
Parking opens
Saturday, February 4, 2012, at 10 a.m. Security will monitor the
property throughout the weekend. Cars must be moved by 4 a.m. or they will be towed. Consumers may pay for two days of parking (cost
of $40) when they arrive, however. Parking tag colors will
differentiate the one-day and two-day parkers.
Parking funds
will go to Indianapolis Public School 14, which has a high number of
children who are homeless or live in poverty. The school recently
advised Angie’s List and other school partners of its most pressing
needs.
• Food Pantry: Most of the
schools’ food comes from Gleaners Food Bank. The pantry is open
every week. The school attempts to provide enough food for 2 meals
and a couple snacks to approximately 50 families each week.
• Uniforms: Many parents in the school system struggle to keep up
with the clothing needs of their growing children.
• School Supplies: IPS budget shortages resulted in teachers having
to purchase many of their own supplies.
The Angie’s List Handy Helpers
program is comprised of company staff who volunteer time and money
to help support schools, shelters and neighborhood organizations
near the Angie’s List campus near the city’s East Side. The group
routinely helps with clean up and landscaping at IPS 14, has planted trees, conducts school supply and food drives throughout
the year and oversees the company’s recycling initiatives.
Angie’s List collects consumer reviews on local contractors and
doctors in more than 550 service categories. Currently, more than
1.5 million consumers across the U.S. and Canada rely on Angie’s
List to help them make the best hiring decisions. Members get
unlimited access to local ratings via Internet or phone, exclusive
discounts, the Angie’s List magazine and help from the Angie’s List
complaint resolution service. Take a quick tour of Angie’s List and
