De Anza event parking? PLEASE HELP

My highschool graduation is being held at the Flint Center at De Anza college. I have to go for practice tommorow at 9am. I was told by my school to park in the flint center structure,(or other lots if its full) however I'm a little worried since every college I've been to has some of the worst parking known to man. So my question is how bad is the flint center lot, if I park in there am I likely to get dinged/broken into? Is there a safer place to park? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Luckily for you De Anza has a lot of parking. Be prepared to walk though if you aren't in the flint center. I went to the flint center 2 years ago for a show my wifes friend was in. They have a big garage as well thats visible from the highway.

the flint parking has a lot of single stalls that have pillars on both sides, so it'll be impossible for anyone to give you a door ding.
Go to the third floor in the back to find these nice stalls.

Ok thanks alot for the info. So it sounds like its going to be ok. I'm just paranoid about my car, its hard having a car you care about. Do you think it'll be possible to get a spot in the flint structure if I get there around 8:30am?

the old parking IS flint parking structure....
dont worry you WILL find a nice spot.. just go to third or 4th level if there's that much ppl (doubt there will be any cars on 4th)

fridays are usually pretty empty compared to the rest of the week. classes usually go monday-thursday so there's usually good parking on fridays. if anything, i've noticed the new parking structure fills up quicker than the flint center does ever since it was finished last year. either way, you should be alright.
