No offense meant to Sid, or anyone else for that matter, but I'm wondering
why the heck the Brown people (who presumably were already peeved at their
performance in the tourney) didn't just track down a phone book and have the
car towed away.  Or at least tell the announcer that they were going to do
so -- you'd figure there would be a quicker response if the announcement was
"Your car is illegally parked AND IS ABOUT TO BE TOWED..."
 
Good story, though :-)
