What's gotten into the people at Alco Parking Corp.?
This Merrill Stabile is the same guy who wants to build a casino across the street from PNC Park on the North Side. The Steelers, of course, like the Pirates, don't want gambling palaces so close to the stadiums the taxpayers built for them. Stabile claims Alco needs the new parking policies to insure a more orderly filling of parking lots. To that I respond with the big F U. This isn't church we're attending on Sunday. When fans wait forever and pay a sizable fortune for tickets, they expect to enjoy themselves as they see fit before and after the game. With all the taxpayer money that has gone into the redevelopment of the North Shore, no one should be telling the fans they can only visit and spend a month's worth of disposable income in some "orderly" fashion designed to maximize the profit of some parking czar who cares not for the cause that gathers the fans.
Perhaps Merrill Stabile antagonizes the fans to annoy the Steelers, who oppose his plan to make a fortune off mindless gamblers. Either way, it's plain that he has neither respect nor sympathy for the fans who make him rich. How many businesses succeed with such contempt for their customers? Mr. Stabile should moderate the paternalist and dictatorial tone when it comes to telling the fans how they can best enjoy themselves.
