Plus as an added bonus to them they don't have to pay volunteers cleaning up the massive piles of shit left behind by all the tailgates.
notice the number of tables and coolers is lower in "the new parking experience"
Eat more moldy snacks and chug those 10 dollar bud lights
And holy shit note the oversized pass on the left. Must cost 100 or more [Reply]

Nope, just means the Natty Lighters save up for one game a year, and do it up right when they go. Its turned into a scorched earth People of Walmart sometimes. [Reply]

That affects the fan experience. What we’re trying to do is enhance that experience by being more efficient and simplifying them.
“We don’t want to sell $40 parking passes. We want you to (buy) in advance and get a $30 pass.”
The advance passes are available at the Arrowhead Stadium box office with no convenience fees charged, while passes sold on the Chiefs’ website or Ticketmaster will incur additional fees.
“There’s always been a convenience charge as long as there’s been a technology out there providing that convenience. … If you go to our box office right now and buy parking for whatever game you want or for the whole season, you pay no convenience charge,” Donovan said. “If you go to our website and buy directly through Chiefs.com and go to the link, you pay a much smaller convenience charge, but that’s exactly what it is. It’s standard across the industry. It’s not just the Chiefs.”
