Who the hell wants to drive in cities like Detroit and SF anyway? (At least SF has public transit. Detroit apparently doesn't, apart from the people mover)It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

It's simple economics. That figure was set for one reason - it WILL sell. Same for jerseys at the stadium up charged 25% 365 days a year, soft drinks are 10,000 times more than at a grocery store or has station. Etc.
I used to work for Anheuser Busch... If a bar or ballpark buys a half barrel of beer for $200, and sells 16 ounce cups for $8, they can sell about 125 cups, and generate $1,000 in income.
If you can afford several tickets totalling into four figures (or your company has season tickets, etc) the. Dropping $100 plus for VALET PARKING is not much different than a $75,000 income household spending $80 on a nice dinner out."Herman Franks to Sal Yvars to Bobby Thomson.

Thinking on this again, I think he may have actually said "too much math, head hurts" . . . but either way, it works.Last edited by DiggerODell; 10-25-2012, 02:09 PM.Some's basturds, some's ain't, thats the score.

Our parking at Comerica is literally steps from the club entrance. We've gotten to be friends with the guys who run the lot and they give us a break on the cost. In 2006 the World Series rate was $50. This year it's all for season ticket regulars. I'm not sure what they're charging everybody else, but we're paying regular season prices for each game.

Plenty of people could - and do - take the train, or park on a street and walk in a few blocks. Parking is regularly $30 and I won't pay that.San Francisco Giants, World Series Champions in 2010, 2012, and 2014!!!

It cost $35 to park in any of the official Yankee Stadium parking lots this year.

The parking lot that's charging $130 for World Series parking... is that an official Giants parking lot, or just a private lot that's fortunate enough to be near the park?If you've been wanting to send someone a thumbs-down, opportunity knocks! I'm now on Cameo, and I'm ready to send a personalized thumbs-down to anyone you want!
