$900 to Park?

[Sweetleaf22]

The Super Bowl is notorious as an event not for the faint of wallet.

A Game-day parking space was fetching upwards of $900 at ParkWhiz.com, a website that offers about 7,000 reserved spots at 43 lots in the vicinity of Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, site of Super Bowl XLV.

It costs $990 for the Dom Perignon of parking right next to the venue.

"People have purchased it for that amount," said Mr. Dalal, who grew up in Ross and attended North Hills High School. "That's what's great about this country ... capitalism at its finest."

Mr. Dalal said the idea for the service grew out of his own frustration at the uncertainties of finding parking at a major event.

"I've always hated parking. We'd run around. We'd be late. We'd leave an hour early ... you never know when to leave," he said.

At the Super Bowl, 90 percent to 95 percent of the parking spaces will be reserved in advance, Mr. Dalal said. The prices likely will fluctuate based on demand.

George Baker, founder of a similar service, ParkHub.com, projected that the available parking will be gone by next Wednesday.

We are all too poor and have to walk to our jobs at "Walmart" anyway ...a 20 mile hike in Dallas is nothing for Steeler Nation bud lol. We'll be there if we have to walk from Pittsburgh chief!
