We used to go to see the Chicks regularly. For those unaware, the Chicks was a semi-abrieviation for Chickasaws, the Memphis AA league ball team.

We loved it. Sometimes, we put 8 in the car, between friends and us. Most of the time, it was just the 4 of us. Admittedly, the park wasn’t that great, especially as compared to the current stadium.

However, it was accessable. After paying for parking at the current park, we have to each give up a hot dog and soda. Worse, it takes far more time to drive to and locate a place to park.

We no longer have children at home. My wife does really enjoy a pro game, but not that much. We’ll likely stay closer to home this year.

There are many beautiful Little League fields nearby and there is no cost. Let’s us buy more “peanuts & Cracker Jacks.” Also, there are high schools around. I suppose we will be more wecomed there than in downtown Memphis.

If they made it more convenient, we might risk the hazzards of going downtown to see a game now and then, but apparently, those in the Redbird management don’t value our business. It’s a shame. As near as I can tell, the players deserve more than that. Those actually working in the stadium deserve more too.

How-some-ever, that Redbirds stadium is so much nicer. It just is they had to plop that thing down in the worst part of Memphis… and about the most difficult place to park.

I can’t say anyting about how unsafe parking is. I have no recent 1st hand experience. However, I do believe it is a place the wise avoid.
