Hockey will get none of the $3 you paid for parking. The entire $3 will be used to help pay for the new parking structure which, in its first year, took in less than 10% of the what they had hoped for (and needed) to pay for the thing. The best part for hockey patrons is that the parking structure is a longer walk from the arena than the used-to-be free lots around the arena. [sarcasm intended] I guess I hadn't even noticed the increase in ticket price, though.
