ARLINGTON, Texas - It doesn't look like the most expensive real estate in Super Bowl history. It's just a patch of black asphalt bordered with a couple of stripes of white paint.
If that sounds like the average parking spot, there's a reason. It is a parking spot, only there's nothing average about it.
This one cost $990 for one day. One game, actually, which leads to the obvious question:
What kind of moron would pay 990 freakin' dollars for a parking spot?
"I'd rather not give out their names," Hank Wendorf said.
He owns the lot across from Cowboys Stadium, and he was kind enough Thursday to let me briefly park my Hyundai rental car in the hallowed spot. I was nervous at first, feeling like a commoner sitting on Queen Elizabeth's throne.
I wish I could say it was a magical experience. Fact was, it felt pretty much like the million or so other times I've pulled into a parking space. Then I realized I was looking at this all wrong.
It may seem ridiculous to pay that much to park a car for an afternoon. So ridiculous that it became national news when Wendorf first advertised the spot a few weeks ago. In the sea of Super Bowl extravagance, this was the epitome of excess.
Tickets to Super Bowl I cost $6. Now it cost 165 times that to park?
