Dodger parking problems

How did the first day of the Dodgers' new parking rules (and higher rates) go? The Times' Chris Foster reports there was some grumbling in the parking lot:

On a night when attendance was barely half of capacity — the announced crowd was 29,841 — there was more concern and confusion than chaos on the first night of "controlled zone parking," which is being implemented this season, along with a $5 price increase, to $15 per car. The Dodgers said that 15% of the $100,000-per-game increase in revenue is being used to pay for 100 more attendants, decked out in bright, lime-green shirts, who direct people where to park.  "I didn't see any difference, just more people out there in green shirts and $5 more to park," said Juan Escobar, who lives in Los Angeles. "That was the plan? I could do that."

The Dodgers should have called The Parking Guyz

I don't like the new parking because the people that work there don't do their job and it cost 15 dollars and I went to a Angels game and it only cost 8 dollars to get in and their works do their job

This last weekend was a great experience at the game but the problems leaving the stadium parking has left
me wanting to sell my season tickets which we have had for over 25 years. We sit just above 3rd base field
level and have always parked in lot 10 now called G. We enter and exit through the Goldenstate Entrance very close to
parking lot G . Leaving Sundays game All the connecting lanes allowing traffic to exit left to the Goldenstate Exit
were conned off, forcing traffic to exit on the 110 to get to the 5 north. It was impossible to get into the one lane on the
110 allowing transition to the 5 north. Why are the connecting lanes allowing traffic to exit out the Goldenstate exit
from lot G closed.

I've gone to Opening day for over 20 years. The parking was the worst I've ever seen. It took us one hour and 20 minutes to get into the stadium for Fletcher drive. We always get there early on opening day to see the pregame show, but missed almost all of it due to the traffic jam. All 4 of us were unhappy. It was not worth an extra $5.

I could find my own place to park and spend the $5.00 for a beer!!
That is if I went to the Games!

That picture makes the Dodger parking lot attendants look like some sort of cheap second rate cheerleading squad.

At least they should be wearing "Dodger Blue" instead of lime green. Oh yeah, green is the color of money. That's all they care about in the Dodger organization. I forgot.

Parking problem? The Dodgers had a parking problem for the cars that
carried an announced 29,841 customers to the game. This sounds like an attendance figure from the Ebbetts Field and Roosevelt Field days (when baseball was baseball). Willie, Mickey and The Duke! That was baseball.
Today, I expect Vince McMahan to throw out the first pitch before he
takes his box seat as the new Bud Selig.
What next? Have some over the hill slugger bat each time the pitcher
is due up? Don Newcombe could swing his own bat, thank you.

They've paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
