I'm not sure if any of you guys came to the game this past Sat night but if so what do you think about the BS changes they are making in the Lot?
Danny boy fired the entire parking staff from last year. Everyone is gone managers and all. They screwed the old staff over and didn't even tell them what was going on. The old staff showed up for orientation last month and they were told to reapply and take a pay cut if they wanted to work this season. Everyone pretty much said Fuck you and walked out. I had known some of them for the past 11 years and they were like family to me. I feel bad as hell for them and I know a lot of the people in my lot are filing complaints on their behalf. The new company underbid them and Danny boy realized he could save some money and fired everyone else.
The manager/liaison between the fans and the parking enforcement is the only guy from the last staff to keep his job. He came out to Arena drive to talk to me and some of the ES guys in the front of the line about the new rules and to tell us that some of the shit that had been going on the past couple of years wouldn't fly anymore. The new parking staff is apparently enforcing the 1 parking space rule this year. The team received a lot of complaints that people were taking up parking spaces with tents and chairs and that’s not acceptable ne more. If you’re blocking the road or a space you will be asked to move or be removed from the parking lot.
To top Sat's bullshit game off, the new parking staff, "Central Park", didn't even open the lot on time and after they did open it they were trying to direct people to park in certain places and not your usual spots.
Believe it or not they actually have High Res pics of my tailgate and my name has come up in meetings about the parking lot rules and regulations. They think I was selling food in the lot and wanted to kick me out of FedEx. If any of you have ever been to my tailgate you know I don't charge anything for it and I drop at least $400 each week in food. I have a tip jar but apparently that has been deemed illegal and it has to be removed.
I wish you guys luck over in the Green Lot and if you can try and come out to the Ravens game this weekend do so. We need to teach these parking rookies how we tailgate at FedEx and get them up to speed before the regular season starts.
I'm done complaining for now and sorry if this sounds like I am whining but I needed some place to vent and I wanted to give you guys a heads up about the BS.
PS. They raised beer prices to $8.00 a beer because it has a cool 75th anniversary logo on it and there is a huge fence surrounding the stadium now right when you cross the street that encircles it. FedEx looks like a concentration camp now.
