Also, as an alum, I'd pay to use it for Titan basketball games.

There was a period during the mid 60's when the dorms at UofD were overcrowded. The college leased rooms at the now demolished Tuller Hotel on Grand Circus Park to house a good many of the upperclassmen. A shuttle was provided to and from the campus on, IIRC, an hourly basis.
