To preempt any whining, note that you asked what the community thinks... so 
here it is...

I like the first, second and  third week parking, confused on the fourth... 
i like the no free parking after 30 days..  and I agree with reasons 
1,2  and 3 ... think 4 is a bit odd as if you think about it, reason 4 
could apply during any day or week of the game.
