"I really want to go to Kidd Brewer one of these years, but I keep hearing so many bad things about visitor parking. Are there any plans for improvement, or should I just suck it up and go?"
Make the trip. You won't regret it. One of the best game day experiences in FCS football and better than a lot of lower level FBS programs. This info should help.

"Paladin Stadium is a great venue, though some more architecture around the stadium will be nice once it happens. Lots of great (free) parking very close to the stadium. Having never been on the visiting side there, I can't speak for the intimidation factor."
Other than the new scoreboard last year I know of no improvements made to your stadium since it was built. It needs a lot of TLC. On of my biggest gripes is with the concession stands on the side opposite the pressbox (I hate the home and visitor side stuff). It is small and gets very crowded due to it being located right in front of the main entrance to the seating area. It may not be much of a problem during most games, but it is a bear if that side is 1/2 full. Have to say the parking for visiting fans is outstanding!
The largest crowd I've ever seen in that stadium was the 1981 ASU game. It was RA Day and it seemed like 10,000 of the 19,000+ people there were kids. All those kids running around screaming at the top of thei lungs, on and off misty rain the entire game, and we lost a heartbreaker. A miserable day all around.
