Atlantic City Surf News Release
Atlantic City, N.J. - With New Jersey Governor John Corzine's recent proposal to raise tolls on state roads, the Atlantic City Surf are looking to help fans who pay tolls on their way to games at Bernie Robbins Stadium. Surf vice president Ryan Conley has announced that all fans who show their game-day receipt from the Pleasantville toll booth on the Atlantic City Expressway (near Exit 4) at the box office will receive $1 off their ticket.
"Surf games have always been inexpensive family entertainment, and we don't want that to change for our fans who come from outlying areas," 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."
Bernie Robbins Stadium is located at 545 North Albany Avenue in Atlantic City, just off of Exit 2 on the Expressway.
