A day after the Chiefs’ parking price increases were met with backlash, team president Mark Donovan defended the changes in a meeting with members of the media on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the Chiefs announced gameday cash parking will increase to $40 this season, a change the Chiefs categorize as an effort to encourage fans to purchase advanced passes, offered for $30 instead.
In 2015, an advanced general parking pass was $27. Fans at the gate paid $30. A red parking pass cost $32.
In 2016, all single-game parking will fall under the red-pass umbrella, with RV and buses requiring additional payment.
