MS and his Chiefs parking experience

MS/PS and friends received free tickets to the Chiefs preseason game this past Saturday. MS expressed to me his disgust of having to pay $20 for parking, having to park about three-quarters of a mile away from Arrowhead Stadium, and having to park in a muddy field. I think what MS fails to realize is that a Chief game, whether preseason or regular season, is now a colossal six-to-seven-hour event in Kansas City. Fans flood the parking lot, fire up their barbecues, and socialize for two to three hours prior to game time. If a fan even arrives an hour before game time, chances are their parking choices are limited and not exactly ideal. Now I will grant MS that perhaps a caretaker had to be arranged for DrB thus forcing their late arrival. But MS needs to remember that fans do tailgate and the tailgaters do take up most of the parking lot. Another friend actually gave up his Chiefs season tickets because he discovered that a Chiefs Sunday took up too much of his time and money.

I will agree with MS on this fact: Exiting the Arrowhead parking lot is pathetic. Authorities have no way of enforcing or producing a quick and efficient way of going home.
