But what's his face who built it (Anschutz or whomever) said, oh no, don't worry, there'll be a "world class parking structure," whatever the hell that means. But whaddya expect from a dude who probably never had to drive the 405 southbound before in his life (preferring helos and special motorcades). The other promise was that Metro (then MTA) would deliver fans without a fuss directly to the HDC doors from "everywhere across the region." Guess they forgot about that when they failed to make any Metro lines that run to HDC from the railways and decided to stop the busses from running in Carson @ 10 pm. Now it's the college parking division's turf. Sheesh.... the Rose Bowl was never a hassle though it sucked as a futbol-specific stadium. But there's always teevee, right? Not in 'Merkuh... we have ESPN, Extra-Stoopid-Productions-Division who can't figure out futbol from pointy-ball and where poker trumps futbol and NASCAR trumps all. And the best commentator they can get is the likes of Wynalda-the-chimp... "oh there's a foul.... now, that's a foul.... when you foul like that... oh there's a foul... yup, that's a foul..."
