Isotopes to Charge for Parking

The Isotopes recently announced on their Facebook page that, in order to keep their parking regulations consistent with UNM (who I think actually owns the lots surrounding Isotopes Park), they are going to charge 5 bucks a car with fewer than four people.

Seeing that it does cost a lot of money to maintain a large parking lot, I'm glad that the Isotopes are asking those who drive to cough up a little money. It's also really smart to base the charge on how many people are in the car - that will encourage people to carpool.

But it'd be nice if transit could step in to take advantage of the newly found demand for an alternative to driving to the ballgame. Maybe ABQ Ride could offer some kind of better service to the stadium? Could the Isotopes organization help out? Come on, guys! Get it together!!!
