The end of a Dodgers game at Dodger Stadium and the final whistle at a Rams game at SoFi Stadium create the same familiar rush: tens of thousands of people heading toward parking lots, ramps, transit stops, and neighborhood streets. The scene repeats in baseball and football cities across the country, from Philadelphia to Kansas City to Seattle. It is also a moment when a plan made before the first pitch or kickoff can matter far more than a last-minute decision in a crowded lot.
