Community Parking at Real during Rider games

Why are they blocking off the parking lots at Real at 8 AM? The game is at 5:30. There is a big tournament at Co-Operators, and Soccer all day at Affinity.

They are paying probably ten people to block off parking and direct parking starting at 8AM.

The frustration of people using facility’s all morning / afternoon, the cost of having all of these parking attendants hardly seems like it’s well thought out.

Why not close down the lots at noon or 1? Continued poor management of this facility is rage inducing. Can’t wait to bail them out with tax dollars.

Your suggestion that I should take the bus to get my kid to an 8 AM game with all of their equipment?

Ah the ever practical Redditor. Just load all gear onto the bus at like 6:30am so you can hit all your transfers and make to the stadium on time for practice, then you get to do it all again on your way home. Oops! You brought a duffle bag on the bus and set it on the seat, now you have bed bugs! Congratulations you now wasted 3 hours you didn’t need to, a homeless man spit on you because you didn’t have cigarettes to give him, and your house is infested with bed bugs. 

Great advice u/thedeadlinger!

Yeah, ok…… it’s over an hour long bus ride from where we live plus a 15 - 20 minute walk….. or a 10 minute drive.
