Wondering if this person came really late or really early prior to or after Stingrays volunteers were gone, if they had them like previous years.???????
If not, then I would be upset too. I can see how relatives or last minute attendees not being in the KNOW, should not be penalized if there were NOT signs or personal at the entrances like there normally are. I've never been to Beekman park for Stingrays, when there weren't Stingrays parents with cones managing the entrance to the pay parking areas. If there wasn't anyone there, then I would be a little annoyed too. Our softball community is conditioned to pay when people are present selling tickets. NOT FOR MUNICIPLE PARKING SITUATIONS.
And if I were a newbie having a 14u at Pickerington HS playing where parking was FREE, why would I think I need to pay for parking at Beekman for my 16 or 18u kids. Same Tourney,,,, right? No need to reply as I know the answer, but just saying, I can see lots of scenarios where people would/should think parking is FREE if people are NOT asking them for money at the entrance.
Maybe an opportunity for next year, as Stingrays NO DOUBT ran great tourney this weekend. ^_^!
JMHO.
