Rapids Parking Update
Following up on last week's Fishwrapper News we have some more information.
Remember us saying that NoFanAlone.com was slowly following up on the various parking rumors swirling around?
Well.... for once that's no slam on the Rapids. They actually responded quickly to various FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) requests. They didn't even destroy the video tapes...
Here's the current skinny:
1. Not everything has been decided. The Rapids are still considering various parking options.
2. Parking at The Dick will remain free. (I'm assuming this means "for all visitors" but you can make up your own mind 'bout that)
3. Here's the direct quote from the Rapids management: "we do have plans to offer full season ticket holders a special parking area - we have additional research to do in order to determine where this area is to ensure that it is an actual benefit and not just perceived added value. Regardless of where the area exists, it should in no way hinder your ability to continue your pre-game activities. We support your efforts and will do whatever necessary to keep your tailgate area available to you moving forward."
I think the Rapids have made clear that they respect Class VI and what we are trying to do, and support our tailgates.
