Actually, the broadcasters undoubtedly parked in the small parking lot adjoining the south side of the field house.
Great Story: I don't remember the date, only that Cedric Hunter was playing. (The 6' guard had arms so long that he had to have his shirts specially made. 36 long wasn't long enough for Cedric.) Anyway, we were late to the game. I had stopped for a take-out pizza along the way from KC. My wife had the pizza box in her lap as I drove down Naismith Drive to the SE corner of the Field House (where crowds of people from the big lot (90?) cross the street). I spoke loudly to give the impression I was late and in a hurry. I said to the cop as I pointed to the pizza box, "Pizza for the press box!!" Without questioning me, he waved me through to park right behind the Field House. True Story. I swear!
