The East Boise Youth Baseball program sent out the following email to its participants last week. Is this what we can expect from the city of Boise if they get their pet stadium project? Towing cars?!?!
As you all already know, there is a bit of a parking issue at our Simplot Complex. This is mainly a problem on Saturdays when both baseball, softball, and soccer games are being held all day. The city feels the best solution at this point is to call the police to cite vehicles that are parked illegally and have them towed. We do not have any say in this matter, we do not own the land, we do not control the scheduling of soccer games, and we cannot designate our parking lot or our side of the complex as baseball or softball parking only.
To help avoid losing your vehicle and paying a $218 fine, please park legally in designated parking areas, whether in the parking lots at Simplot or within the legally designated areas along the street. If you do not park in a legal parking spot for these last two weekends of fall ball, you will likely be towed. Whether you park in the main Simplot lots or the nearby schools or churches, you will be walking around 2,000 to 3,000 feet. However, in general, the Simplot parking lots will be your closest option for parking. Another option would be to use a service like Uber or Lyft.
