Samson Wants New Ballpark "As Deep As Possible In The Alleys"...

...and no, he's not talking about possible parking spaces, but the dimensions of the playing field. Speaking of parking, "(a)lthough there will be 6,000 parking spaces on site, Miami city commissioner Joe Sanchez said, by design, some will need to park on private lawns because 'residents don't want to give up that income' collected at UM football games." (MiamiHerald)

WHICH-BRINGS-UP-THE-POINT-THAT: Nice as the retractable roof will be when you get inside of the stadium, you still somehow have to get inside of the stadium. If you are not a part of the Lucky 6,000, on rainy days you may have to park on somebody's muddy lawn, walk through rain, puddles, traffic, parking lots, people, gates and arepa vendors to get to that nice dry seat.
