I think there is more total capacity than say 5 years ago with the garage replacing the surface lot F. IINM, the garage has almost twice the spaces for long term parking than the lot did (2 floors for parking, about the same size as the lot used to be?).

So, they may be able to lose E and not have less space than they used to historically. That would have been the plan all along with building the garage.
