Yankee Stadium Parking

| | Comments (4)

The Yankee Stadium parking page has this to say about construction related parking lot closures:

Ongoing construction of the New Yankee Stadium may cause street and/or parking lot closures in the area around the current stadium. Please budget ample time when planning your trip and be sure to consider using public transportation.

If I could re-write that, it would say something like this:

Our parking map shows a total of 17 different parking lots in the immediate surrounding vicinity of the stadium. Unfortunately four of them are closed. Worse still, these are the parking lots with some of the highest capacities of all of them. If you want a parking spot, plan on showing up about three hours in advance. If not you'll be parking along the side of the road about a mile away from the stadium. Oh yeah, seriously don't just "consider" public transportation -- swear by it.

But that's just me. I guess that wouldn't sound as official. Maybe that's why I'm not in PR.

Yeah, *that's* the reason you're not in PR. :-)

Heh, Jeremy beat me to it...

Derek should be in marketing, but maybe only in the future.

Take a little of the edge of Dereks version and it's *much* better than the "official" version. Their version is so obvious marketing-speak that nobody will trust it anyway. Why not be honest?

I can think of *several* reasons you're not in marketing.

I think empathy is required, first of all. :)
