Look at this:
Fans traveling to Saturday's MLS Cup final at Los Angeles' Banc of California Stadium will have to make do without any parking at the event, LAFC confirmed Tuesday.
LAFC will host MLS Cup against the Philadelphia Union at 1 p.m. local time, but the University of Southern California's college football game against the University of California-Berkeley next door at the LA Memorial Coliseum that night means MLS' showpiece event will have to play second fiddle -- at least when it comes to parking.
How could MLS have not realized this scheduling conflict? Other truly major sports leagues dissect the calendar like Talmudic scholars for holidays, school days, other leagues' schedules to avoid precisely this humiliating faceplant. This is their "showpiece event," their Super Bowl, and Los Angeles is an automobile town is my understanding, am I correct?, and now fans can't PARK?? How are they going to get there? How many Angelenos have ever had to look for means of transportation alternatives to the automobile? MLS Cup could have been rescheduled a week later, no? Or a week earlier? That is just crazy.
