Next time you are there and doing your walk a round look at where the nose gear is parked and tell me what you see. Some gates say ERJ-145, CR2-7-9, DASH-8-100, Some only say DASH8-100 and CR2. I think F-3 has them all, CR2-7-9 and ERJ-145, and DASH-8-100.
Your intel is just a bit off. -900s generally park at 28, 30, 37 and 39. -200s park at any gate with a jet bridge although on rare (really rare) occasion they have been parked at 4 or 6. -900s at the low odd gates (1-3-5-7-9) might be a bit tight especially with the turn into 1 and 3 with the hangar.
I would guess the 145s will only park at jet bridges as AMR spec'ed them with plug doors, not air stairs. Otherwise there will be a need for rolling steps or ramps if they park at any of the current "Dash" gates.
Of course, anything can happen down the road.
