The beginning of the baseball season is around the corner.  (Ok, so it’s technically already underway with the Red Sox clashing with the A’s in Japan.)  It’s hard to believe it’s already been 6 months since the Red Sox won the World Series (again).  That’s 2 championships in 4 years.  It seems safe to say the Curse of the Bambino is over.  But while one curse is over another lingers in Chicago.  It’s been a long time since the Cubs last won the World Series.  1908 to be exact.  Yup, that’s right.  100 years.  However, while the mantra is “there’s always next year”, many believe this is THE year.  Well, maybe…

Nonetheless, March 31 is opening day at Wrigley and they’re starting it off with a bang honoring the great Ernie Banks with the unveiling of his statue.  Mr. Cub, as he’s referred to by adoring Chicagoans, is one of the game’s great ballplayers. I recently had the pleasure of meeting him and I must say, it was quite a thrill.  We talked at length about baseball, the Cubs, as well as my early days playing the hot corner in little league. Ernie asked if I played in college, of which I couldn’t help but laugh.  (I’m just glad my little league coach wasn’t there to laugh as well.) We also talked about parking!  Ernie was fascinated by what we are doing at ParkWhiz and said Wrigley Field could definitely use our service.    

With the baseball season about to begin, we’re making a shout-out to parking lot owners, garage operators and individuals who live around ballparks or stadiums across the country with available parking to sign up on ParkWhiz and sell your space.  There’s 81 home games and ParkWhiz is a great way to generate additional revenue through our online parking marketplace.    We take care of 99.5% of the work.  You just honor the reservation and watch the money pour in.  Give us a call at 888-4-PARKWHIZ and we’ll get you started.

For you baseball purists, enjoy opening day at a ballpark near you and good luck to your team!
