When the city built its expressway system in the '30s, access to Tiger Stadium was paramount in the thinking. But as for parking . . . People have their favorite little spots they've known for years. Parking is so important to a stadium. We're a lot like Fenway.
People park in backyards, driveways and the like.
And they know how to get out of here quickly. You'd be surprised how quickly we can empty people out of the general area. Parking is a problem that directly affects the fan. But there are other problems inherent with old ballparks that also directly affect a fan, even if he doesn't realize it because he is so used to the situation. With the exception of Comiskey Park, old ballparks have an inadequate number of concession stands, and, what's even more important, rest rooms.
