I didn't say the problem was just in Asbury Park. I've seen many places
plan out parking better. Entertainment venues can and do lose out on people
when they can't find a place to park within a reasonable amount of walking
distance. Sure you can walk from Main Street to the ocean if you know the
area but if you're coming to a town for the first time - and Asbury Park is
a tourist town where at any given time people may be here for the first time
- shouldn't you make it easy for them? That way, they keep coming back.
All I know is that I've seen plenty of shows lose out on maybe half of their
audience when a show takes place at Convention Hall. And it's not that they
are losing their audience to Convention Hall (it's usually a different
audience) it's the fact that if people can't find a spot after 20 minutes of
searching, they'll go somewhere else.
