Does anyone know what the purpose of "MDC Park" is next to Shea Field. It is the fenced in hill framed by Shea, Campanella Way and St. Tomas More Road. Does that piece of land serve a function and why has BC not leveled it yet as its a prime space near Alumni.
Back in the day, that land was known as Beer Can Hill. There was a triangle of land, "The Triangle" between Beer Can Hill and the reservoir, on which the earliest tailgaters would park their cars (free) and have raucous tailgates.
There were no arrival restrictions, you could park there many hours before the games. And for several years, there was a homeless guy who lived on Beer Can Hill and used the many beer cans and other various trash to make decorations and spruce up his home. Ahhhh, the good old days.
