Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Nightmare in HCC parking lot

WTF. We pulled in to HCC parking lot. Two separate vehicles, one behind the other. We were directed in different directions. I tried to tell the lot nazi that we were together , but he was not hearing it. Being I was first and a less confrontational friend was second ,when we parked he was not with us. It was still early and by no means was the lot filling up at a frantic ,must park now or the world is going to end rate. At this point the lot guy was standing next to my truck. I pleaded my case to him, it fell on completely uncaring ears. Now 5 minutes after being parked, the group from the other car, who was parked a stones throw away, came walking over with coolers,chairs and what not. All the spaces to one side of my truck were vacant. The lot had zero traffic. I again pleaded with this guy.He told me "He was in charge" and "My friend could not park in the open spot right next to us" . Now after 10 minutes of arguing with this guy a single car pulled in and parked. We started to set up our tailgating area. Now, this guy is supervising our group and telling us "We cant have our chairs out that far we need to stay in the immediate area behind my truck". At this point I was done dealing with him and told him to get the cops . We where not doing anything wrong,or taking up too much space. The other fans in the lot already had a dose of this guy prior to our arrival and my situation was the icing on the cake. The end result over 200 people swearing to never come to this lot again. We made fast friends with the surrounding fans. After an hour or so we started to have a catch. We where informed no football tossing in the lot.?????I have to add the spaces to our right were still vacant,other than a few cars. I usually park in the main lot. I am giving it one more chance this week vs the pack. If the lot conditions are the same I WILL NOT GO TO ANYMORE GAMES>>> GO BUCS!!!!!

thats sad man

I’m almost positive the Buccaneers have no idea this type of treatment is going on. Sadly, my guess is they probably wouldnt care. Sounds like the Parking lot Nazi went on a power trip. That’s too bad. The football tossing still baffles me… Keep us updated this weekend!!

Good luck man!

I would tell you where my FREE parking spot is (located within a stone's throw of the stadium) but then I'd have to kill ya.

Sorry about your experience, but I would have told the guy to (A) Fuck off or (B) Get me his boss. I prefer choice A.

UPDATE...

Great game this weekend. Had great seats and a awesome time. I parked in the general stadium lot. Didnt do much tailgating ,as we were running a little late. By the looks of everyone else in the lot , the atmosphere was as should be , people having a good time without being harassed.
