Park at the Rupert Parking Garage. ..

Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to look into that.

To be clear I wasn’t calling Steve out on his decision to drive, I was just giving my personal observation as to why I don’t drive to the Stadium anymore.

Of course! I know what you meant and didn’t think you were calling him out.

To be clear I wasn’t calling Steve out on his decision to drive, I was just giving my personal observation as to why I don’t drive to the Stadium anymore. Steve is hosed no matter where he goes (mass transit, ferry, driving), and I’m sure this year will be his worst ever.

1) So many different scenarios, I can understand why the cops around the stadium are the way they are. And is also the reason why I haven’t driven to the Stadium in years. Too many hassles, I’d rather take mass transit.

2) if the city would pay the cops in proportion with the amount of crap they had to deal with, then you would see more “good guy” cops because there would be more “good guys” applying for those jobs and u can weed out the guys just lookin to earn a pension and treatin the job like its just another job

1) Raf, I agree completely. I grew up in NYC, lived in Brooklyn for a few years and now live in the Bronx. I’ve always had the option of taking a subway or bus to the game. Unfortunately for Steve, his trek begins in Jersey and it’s a lot tougher. Public transportation should be used whenever possible when going to Yankee Stadium.

2) Corey, I agree 100%. They don’t get paid enough and you are right that it leads to this type of attitude for some of the guys on the force.

I still don’t think people should bust balls just because but that’s just my own personal opinion.

most people who choose NYPD don’t have much of a choice when it comes to their line of work, otherwise they’d be doing something else…it’s a really horrible job

NYPD or NYPD Traffic?

and FWIW, if the city would pay the cops in proportion with the amount of crap they had to deal with, then you would see more “good guy” cops because there would be more “good guys” applying for those jobs and u can weed out the guys just lookin to earn a pension and treatin the job like its just another job…just food for thought is all, ill leave it at that

It isn’t so much the cop breaking Steve’s balls, it’s just trying to have some semblance of order around the Stadium. We have all seen how things get over there. We’ve all seen people do stupid things to try and circumvent traffic (not saying that’s the case here, I’m just sayin’). For all the cop knows Steve may be lying. And there are people who try to park in a prepaid garage when they haven’t prepaid.

So many different scenarios, I can understand why the cops around the stadium are the way they are. And is also the reason why I haven’t driven to the Stadium in years. Too many hassles, I’d rather take mass transit.
