Game Day Traffic

The Houston Astros season is coming to a sad end again this year. Even thoug attendance is down this year the afternoon start time creates a headache for me when arriving and leaving the Harris, County, Texas Courthouse. Today, like most other times when there is a day game the parking garage where I park reaches its capacity by 8:30 in the morning since it is one of the few covered garages around Minute Maid Park. In fact, the attendant was only allowing those of us that have contracts to enter the garage when I got there. Luckily, I pay for a reserved spot so I do not have to go searching for a parking spot before getting to the courthouse. It seems like all the people that work at Minute Maid Park park in Harris County Parking Garage. Later, when I leave the courthouse traffic is backed up because of all the people that are new to downtown trying to make the game before the first pitch. Frankly, I wish I could have joined them and enjoyed the game instead of fighting traffic to leave.
