Re: facility.  some people seem to think that they need a GPS to find McGaw or what ever it is called now..  There must be enough students with wheels to make up for a lack of bus service, if fin fact that is a problem.  Also, the athletic department could spring for University buses to make up for any lack of public transportation.  Include a bus ticket with the price of the BB tickets.
