-
Use "Parking A" for free until it fills up.
-
Pay $2.50 up in Sports Club and you can get something other than Coors Light.
-
Via Ponce.
-
The parking attendants are not club employees. Your $2 goes to improve the
economy of the neighborhood and protect the finish of your car. After initial
objections, the new owners seem

-
A smallish (9 oz.) but ice-cold Medalla.
-
Of the over 14,000 seats, from 1,500 to 3,000 track-meet seats (depending on
whom you talk to) are unusable for baseball because they are obstructed by
being beyond the outfield wall.
