AC Surf Going To Pay Your Tolls, Kinda

The Atlantic City Surf, formerly the chief rivals of the Camden Riversharks in the battle of the Atlantic City Expressway, open up the season on May 26. For some reason the team put out a press release today saying it will pay your tolls for you if you show your receipt. And by that, of course, I mean you will get $1 off.

Howzzat work? The Surf is actually just paying your toll at the Pleasantville exchange of the AC Expressway, which is 50 cents each way. The Surf claim in a release they “have you covered” if you’re “tired of tolls,” but only if the only toll you’re tired of is the 50-cent one at Pleasantville.

“Surf games have always been inexpensive family entertainment, and we don’t want that to change for our fans who come from outlying areas,” Surf VP Ryan Conley said. “Just show us your receipt from your way into the game, and we’ll cover the cost of your tolls – 50 cents each way.”

In other news, the Surf are having will also have William Hung at a game this year. I think the toll promotion has something to do with Gov. Corzine wanting to make tolls $80 per axle by 2010.
