I just saw a picture of a baseball stadium and the parking lot was like 5x bigger than the stadium. How do people manage to get wasted AND get home.
Excuse my naivety but I’m from Europe where people take the train usually and the hope is that the train conductor isn’t a drunk dad coming from the game. Plus we don’t have baseball.
In cities that haven’t been completely taken over by car brain, people don’t drive to the stadium. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, all cities with passionate sports fandoms and functioning public transit. I once rode on a Metra train (Chicagoland regional rail) with a group of ~10 Cubs fans who were working on a couple cases of beer on their way to a game.
For places like LA, the line to get out of the parking lot is so long, there’s time to sober up before you’re actually on the road. (jk, kind of.)
