I was in TX earlier this year and the DFW metro - the businesses, residents, were so excited for this. Dallas planned to shut down some of their streets for pedestrians only. Would be such a shame if this gets screwed up.
How much is Jerry going to charge to park near the games at Jerry World?
It’s a trend in blue cities now to shut down streets for things like this and “festivals” because it’s just “so much nicer and healthier for the environment” and it’s utter BS because it makes parking even more of a nightmare and the blue cities refuse to add more parking because “it’s ugly” and think it’ll force everyone to use their public transportation or “bike into town” (yeah right) so the suburb people just Uber in causing MORE pollution.
Dallas is not gouging for public transportation either.
We know it’s a windfall on sales taxes, hotel taxes, short term rental taxes, car rental taxes,and sin taxes (TABC alcohol is in top of sales tax PER DRINK. Tobacco taxes are also in top of sales taxes.
DFW is set to make half a billion or so in revenues extra in that month for a Stadium we already built. We have 9 games the most of any host in the whole Cup and we have the semi final match as well.
It’s gonna be LIT y’all.
You heard right we are closing sheets to let buses use them as staging areas. Extra trains a complementary shuttle service from the TRE station to the stadium and if needed more charter buses from two more feeder stations one in each metroplex hub. Plus a dedicated ride share lot with directed traffic to and from so lights won’t be a snarl. The local hotels have a trolley set up and dedicated drop and stage point near the stadium. Hotels further out all are not only running shuttles they are selling game day parking and shuttle rides in parkwiz and other parking apps. Every local biz in a two mile radius is also selling spots for walking on half a dozen apps as well.
BIG D got this.
