MyLücke partners with RazorGator to fix Coliseum parking
MyLücke, which has developed a marketplace for renting parking spaces around LA, announced a partnership with RazorGator of Marina Del Rey to help alleviate the treacherous LA Coliseum parking situation. When the Rams held their first game this season, parking lots were charging as much as $200 a space, while MyLücke providers were offering spaces for as low as $12 an hour. The partnership will allow Rams ticketholders to enjoy the ease of the MyLücke experience. No word on whether the deal will help the Rams' anemic offense, though. [Press Release]
