I always hate parking at Midway because the information I get beforehand (via their phone line and on their radio station) never seems to be correct, and you have to kill a lot of time driving around to find an economy lot that isn't full (they have the Red, Yellow, and Blue lots, plus two remote-remote lots that are way down south on Cicero Ave...one is almost all the way back to Ford City). But this time we had a really pleasant surprise that taught me a tip for future reference.
It was the Sat. of Memorial Day weekend, and this time the radio was correct: all of the economy lots were full. Since I never trust their information, I drove to them anyway to doublecheck. The radio station said to go to the parking garage, which is $22 per day as compared to $9 in economy. There was no one around the Yellow lot, but at the Red and Blue they were handing out fliers which you could use to get the parking garage for only $12 per day! You didn't get the special rate unless you got a flier, so if you just listened to the radio station and went directly there, you had to pay the full $22. This is the first time we've used the garage, and it is so convenient!! So if you are ever at Midway, go to the Red or Blue economy lot even if you are told that they are full. You might luck into the parking garage bargain.
