Chiefs parking changes
Just came across this.
http://www.chiefs.com/news/article-2...1?sf31901094=1 TL;DR; If you pay cash at the gate parking is increased $10, if you buy a pass ahead of time it's still $30. |

IMHO they need to just bite the bullet and make pass buyers pick a color and letter and then receive a gate number to arrive in as well as the directive that no guarantee is made on whether or not you'll be able to park in that respective lot if you don't arrive an 1:30 prior to kickoff.

I get the logic, but I don't think this will work as well as they intend:

I walked through the Public Parking lots before the Chiefs / Pats MNF game in 2014.
It truly felt like a situation out of control, possibly what I imagine a prison yard would be like. |

Doesn't sound like that big of deal to me. I don't think it has anything to do with $ either when you consider The county gets all of the parking $.
They want you to buy before the game to speed up the process. |

Kicker is they're punishing the fans who are less likely to be the drunken riff raff to do so. Further, they're limiting where you can park with regards to location to the stadium. |

Surprised they have the nerve to raise parking, considering how woefully inadequate the current parking system is regarding the number of available lanes for vehicles, and how long it actually takes to enter/empty the lots on game days. They haven't really done anything structurally with the lot/roadways/exits over the last few decades while parking prices have continued to rise the entire time. It would be different if they could show some improvements. But it's just gotten worse over the last 5 years...

Exponentially worse over 5 years, imho.

Funny how that correlates with Donovan's stint as president.

After doing a whole 5 minutes of research of the subject, it looks like Arrowhead charges right at the average for parking in the NFL. Doesn't mean I like it, or you have to like it, but there you go.
Dallas charges $75 to park. They're the highest. |
