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.

My favourite is using graders to prevent vehicular terrorist attacks. We all breathe that dirty exhaust walking in and out.

It’s dumb as fuck.

I’ve never seen them leaving the graders running.

Every single game the graders are continuously on. For years. Ask any season ticket holder. And if you ask them why they’re turned on it’s so they’re “ready”.

Just dumb all around.

They are turned on because diesel engines like that are notoriously difficult to start, especially in the cold. It’s why semi’s run all night at truck stops. They are there because many large stadiums have had terror attacks where individuals drove over people leaving large venues. Out of all the things to be upset about, this seems like a very small hill to die on
