For $100 you can buy a Red Access ticket to get into every single home game. There’s like 70 home games a year. General admission tickets can be bought for like $7. The last couple years they’ve added special happy hour beer pricing before many of the games. They constantly have giveaways that are the same as you get in St Louis. You can’t ask for much better value than they’re offering.

It's such a weird system. The city pays for all the upkeep, while the team owners get a ton of money from consessions, advertising, est.

If the proceeds from the games were actually going back into the city, I might be a little more willing. But like you said, it's a bad investment. I'd be very surprised if the city is even able to break even. And then, if the owners even decide to move the team, taxpayers just spent a ton of money for nothing.

For the record, if you are driving and going 5 below the speed limit and there is a dashed yellow line telling me I can legally pass you in a straightaway, I am going to.

So flash your lights all you want, honk. Fucking drive. Stop going 15 down a 30 because you plan on turning a few roads down.

Our level pay just went up neqrly $7000 a year, you end up paying the same in the end. They credit your account if you pay too much, and they will both raise your rate to pay anything you would have had to pay otherwise in addition to raising it to reflect their new rates. Had this all explained when I called.

Jesus Christ the tailgating down here is a nightmare. I'm going almost 10 over the speed limit. Driver's still be like "I'm gonna ride the dude's ass"

It's not going to get you anywhere faster. It's just going to destroy both our cars when I have to break

"Stay right except to pass" is mostly only applicable on the freeway. If you're on a road where someone may need to make a left or right turn at any time, there should be no expectation of them moving to the right lane just because you want to go faster than them. On the freeway though... it's "stay right except to pass. Not "stay right unless you think you're going a reasonable speed".

What statute are you citing?
