Parking Sunday

Is parking in the neighborhood officially banned starting Sunday? Only options are to pay $30 to park at the hospital or take the train?
 
This is why Evanston sucks. I parked on the street three blocks from Mackey Arena this past Sunday with no issues. If you don't want people parking in front of your house during basketball and football games, don't buy a house close to the stadium!

How bad is this? I parked for last game a couple blocks south of the stadium. Is it restricted everywhere?

It is not just Evanston. Wilmette pulls the same crap of banning parking on game days. All made worse by the loss of a lot
 
Parked a block south of central, no new issues.
Linden el lot: Lots of parking spaces, no traffic, no drama. $5 using "Passport" parking app... enter zone 60091 (Wilmette's zip code) and your spot number. 5 minute walk back to your car if you slip out the NE corner "back door" after the game.
 
What was the last straw to piss off Wilmette and Evanston?

This isn't the first construction project in the area in the last 20-ish years. But something obviously happened. The two towns have decided to draw a line in the sand. I somewhat don't blame them.

They even expanded some of the no parking areas since Christmas.
