    No surprise that a company who has shown disregard for employee safety would show the same disregard for customer safety.

    I'da thought a company as detail oriented as Inbev, and especially their legal department, woulda caught this kind of stuff earlier.

    Yup.

    What makes anyone actually believe what the city administration puts in their press releases?

    You'll notice I didn't add any emojis to my post. There was no parody intended at all.

    Something doesn’t add up here. They do this event every year without issue.

    I think MLB is to blame there, not Goose.

    I've been trying to get in minor league games every year -- and their prices are much more reasonable!

    Truth be told, I haven't had a 312 in a long time. Might be due for a revisit. Like to try Green Line again, first.
