This is exactly what the article is about. It used to be a normal thing for normal families to do, but the prices have gone up significantly.
You wouldn't drive to Oakland? Why? It's quite literally a stadium surrounded by parking https://www.google.com/maps/place/RingCentral+Coliseum/@37.7503942,-122.2003849,1054m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x7057c9bec0f06fd5!8m2!3d37.7515946!4d-122.2005458 https://www.google.com/maps/place/RingCentral+Coliseum/@37.7...
- willturman 4y agoStadiums used to be on the outskirts of cities surrounded by huge parking lots. Candlestick, Qualcomm, Kingdome, Astrodome, among many others. These stadiums have been replaced by modern venues in the hearts of American cities and emphasize public transportation access and walkability to surrounding shopping and entertainment districts. Expecting to drive a car into the heart of a city and not pay exorbitant prices for parking is absurd.
