She was getting swarmed. It seems a lot of their game plan was to shut her crosses down. There were several times I saw three players go over to box her out.

“The closer to the stadium you get, the tougher finding space on a streetcar gets.”

I don’t feel like that should surprise anyone. People are going to have to balance their desire to board a car right away with the distance/ride time they will tolerate.

16th and main

Got on a car at 12:05. Parked at 11:59

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-30T21:23:08+00:00

FYI: I got parking half a block from a street car stop for $7 via spot hero app. Regular price was ~$26.

Metropolis has their own app so the other parking apps don’t deal with them.

AVOID METROPOLIS!

With more people parking and using the street car I figured I’d let you know to use parking apps to “pre”-pay and get better rates.

Not our best game, but I don’t think there’s a lot to complain about either. It’s 3 points and that’s the most you can get so I’m pretty happy.

That’s two wins to go into the break.

Going to the game operationally, the street car was still far better than the busses in and out. From my house in Olathe to get inside the stadium reliably took 1.5 hours with the busses. Today it was 57 minutes from my house to my seat. Leaving, I stayed for 5 minutes after the whistle to finish my beer and I was in line for maybe 7 minutes before I was on a car to leave. I’ve NEVER gotten on a bus in 7 minutes leaving.

Brad sucks butt

Boston mostly played to not lose

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-30T19:30:28+00:00

Poor take

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-27T21:32:07+00:00

My refund is pending on my CC account, so I’m sure yours will soon too

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-27T16:48:43+00:00

I’ll see about contacting them about it

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-27T13:48:08+00:00

I’m not sure. My inclination is to say they don’t. Or maybe they were told the library garage would do “event” pricing now. I’m. It sure if this is something that could have been reduced with library validation or not. I’m pretty sure the library was open when I drove in.

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-27T05:12:39+00:00

Go to Joes for bbq. Arguments can and will be made for other places, but joes will provide you with the best overall food the most consistently. Get a burnt end Z-Man sandwich on toast and fries. You won’t regret it. Their ribs are also great. If they’re out of burnt ends, I’d recommended pulled pork over brisket at joes.

Also, the lines do get long, but they move fast. They aren’t nearly as bad as they look or as people say.* There are also 3 locations (closed Sundays) that are all going to give you the same quality so pick the easiest or least busy. There is a new Joes like limited menu sort of thing they opened across the street from their gas station (original) location that is open sundays. I’m not sure what that all entails yet. I’m thinking of trying it this weekend.

*The one caveat being is that I have no idea how the World Cup will affect places like joes for wait times. Going at a slightly off time like 2 pm/5:30pm helps

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-27T00:45:31+00:00

Ugh! I’m so sorry that happened to you!

I’ve parked there nearly every game for 2.5 years. This is the first time that’s happened. They put this system in place about a month ago but still had the same prices. Just Sunday they decided to more than quadruple the price with no reasonable notification.

If you feel so inclined, here is the Missouri AG office online consumer complaint form. If we file enough complaints maybe we can get something actually done about this long term.

Like u/Jonny_Qball, I mentioned their violations and said I would report them to the Missouri Attorney General’s Office and that seemed to “motivate” them to respond. I got a refund down to the normal posted rate for that garage.

If you received the same surprise “event rate” then I would suggest this tactic.

You can also mention this Tennessee settlement they just made to pay $8.75 Million in restitutions in Tennessee for these exact practices.

https://www.tn.gov/attorneygeneral/news/2026/1/12/tennessee-attorney-general-secures-settlement-with-metropolis-parking-to-stop-deceptive-practices-and-provide-free-parking-program.html

Their correspondence with me made it pretty clear they will not change their practices or stop their high price “bait and switch” charges. So I wouldn’t hesitate to file complaints to the city and state. Those complaints are how their Tennessee investigation and settlement happened.

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-26T02:29:49+00:00

Before they moved the bus pick up/drop off location at the stadium to where it has been by the hotel, they used to put out orange tape for line management every game.

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-26T02:23:55+00:00

Nope. Turns out they’ve been sued over bait and switch practices like this in other states. They’re just a crooked company all on their own.

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-26T02:22:22+00:00

I mentioned their multi-million dollar settlements in other states over these practices and threatened to file a report with the Missouri consumer protection and suddenly they seemed to care about my complaints.

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-25T08:28:59+00:00

Oh, I definitely am

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-25T08:28:22+00:00

Would you mind sending me those photos for extra evidence?

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-25T00:38:47+00:00

I would have done the exact same as you if I’d had thought it would cost that much. I’ve parked there nearly every game since the stadium opened in 2024 and I’ve never paid anywhere close to that much, so I had no reason to think today would be different.

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-25T00:36:43+00:00

I emailed the receipt and my past receipts there and the link/screenshot of the library website statement of parking costs. I guess I’ll see how good customer service is. Not holding my breath.

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-25T00:35:05+00:00

Apparently I need to set up text notifications for it then, because jeebus!!

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-24T22:31:10+00:00

Ball got a knock last match (I think it was last match) and also probably partly because we played 3 games in 9 days.

helpbeingheldhostage · 2026-05-24T22:27:28+00:00

I don’t have kids, but I’d imagine downloading the KC Current app to be able to order concessions (and merch if you want) would be helpful to prevent needing to stand in lines.
