Major League Baseball has paused its season due to the coronavirus pandemic, so why are there thousands of cars parked at the homes of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels?
Well, it's because rental car companies need a place to stash their unused vehicles amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
"Like others across the travel industry -- and countless other companies large and small -- we have witnessed an impact to our business," said Lisa Martini, a spokeswoman for Enterprise Holdings (which owns the Enterprise, National and Alamo rental car brands), according to ESPN. "This includes a decrease in reservations as travel has come to a standstill. As a result, we have had to park cars not currently in use."
Enterprise has more than 2,000 vehicles parked at Angel Stadium, according to ESPN, and there are probably just as many at Dodger Stadium.
With no games for the foreseeable future, it only makes sense for unused vehicles to be parked in these massive empty lots. Even if games do begin, it's likely they take place at teams spring training facilities in either Arizona or Florida.
It's safe to say there won't be a need to move the vehicles anytime soon.
