This morning, I looked at Twitter, and one of the sports radio guys I follow made a very good point: Friday night, parking Downtown is going to be ridiculous. Tens of thousands will be going to Beale Street Music Fest; Game 6 of the Grizzlies-Spurs playoffs will surely sell out; and there’s a Redbirds home game that night. Parking garages will be jammed. I may have to leave work early just to make sure I get a space in my own parking garage.<\/p>\n
I know the Grizzlies are preparing for the game tonight, but I’d like to ask them a favor: You guys can help alleviate the Downtown parking situation Friday night. All I need you to do is win tonight’s game, then win on the road at San Antonio Wednesday. If you do that,\u00a0there won’t be a game Friday at FedExForum. That will provide considerable traffic\/parking relief.<\/p>\n
So, what do you say, can you help a brother out? After all, I did change my blog’s colors to Grizzlies colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
