impact from that commute report and take a look at the other impacts if you plan on driving to the game, we have the full screen available, apparently not. her parking will cost about $25 for automobile and $40 as you are driving and our view or limo. if you want to take a good trend began, this is your best option 0, of course, they have your for park shuttles. the fear is $12 or, if we have the slide up, no, but you can also take t- third line and you can transfer from paul and there is a shuttle there. >> mark: require bank you george, we will take a quick break as the kron4 news continues. a baby? but we were gonna see the northern lights in alaska.
