Fuck FIFA
Yes, that corrupt piece of shit ifantino and his organization should just fuck off.
And fuck cars
They’re useful though, but we should be able to replace 80% of their use with bikes/ebikes and better community design.
AntiFIFA!
A massive failure in US city planning is that stadiums don’t have bus and rail access.
Every major stadium should have a light rail station which exits right into the ticket booth. There’s literally no reason why these things can’t have huge public transport during major events. Anyone that’s tried to leave one of these events knows just what a PITA it is.
Where I live a local professional sports team is trying to build a new stadium because the current one is “difficult” to park at. This is based on feedback from fans and traffic studies during game days. So they want taxpayers to pay billions to build a new stadium with more parking garages. Instead of adding more buses and bus stops or light rail or any form of public transit to alleviate the problem at the current stadium, which is barely thirty years old.

But then I’d have to replace time inside my personal climate-controlled carriage with sharing space alongside the unwashed masses.
They already make taxpayers foot the bill for the stupid competitive exercise to be privately produced off of. Why add shit
Or better yet, heavy rail (i.e. a proper subway, not just a streetcar).
The Diamondbacks stadium in Phoenix has this. Leaving the game by the light rail sucks though because it’s packed and everyone is trying to get on at the same time.
This just shows that the train intervall is too big and that there should be more trains running, not that “ight rail sucks”. It’s a structural deficit, caused by too low of a budget for public transit.
I agree with you that they either need to add trains and/or reduce the time between trains.
But my point still stands that in its current state, it is not a pleasant experience.
Now imagine if each one of those people was in their own vehicle trying to leave the stadium at the same time.
That train with 100 people crammed into it is easily saving people hours worth of waiting in the parking lot for their turn to leave.
It’s like this in England at least.
Boycott FIFA, boycott USA
Fifa and football supporters … I don’t understand why people continue to support that organisation 😅
Fuck the world cup. Watch your local university women’s team.
After looking at an article that can actually be read, I’m more surprised than I expected to be. I assumed this price point was for a season pass type thing that included with your parking space a free shuttle given the distance. Turns out, nope. Price per game and bring your walking shoes.
I’m glad I never got into sports much.
Soccer is a weird game anyway. The reason the players fake fall and dramatically hold mystery body parts? Because they get added on time at the end of the game that’s decided by the refs. It’s completely ripe for bribery and abuse.
This is a stupid example, but you get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgPBeu4hLKw
That video seems to fit with the only other example I’ve seen about the sport.
Hmm, I live pretty close by in LA. Maybe I should rent out my parking spot for a profit, and then defraud them because fuck FIFA and its fans.
Attendees should be saving their money for lawyers to get out of ICE detainment.
If they’re actually selling parking spaces at $300 that’s a steal. But more likely it’s only a rental just for one game.
Does FIFA own these spaces?
Didn’t read the article, but fifa perfectly can (due capitalism) rent those areas.
Where is the closest bus stop?
The 212 bus on Prairie / Arbor Vitae
It’s not that bad. You can Uber the last mile.
And how much do you reckon that will cost?
