Living Spaces at Hotdogfingers Memorial Climate Pledge Garage and Parking Facility

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

In addition to the stands, field, concessions, and plane storage, Hotdogfingers Memorial Climate Pledge Garage and Parking Facility, denoted hereafter as The Big Garage, also contains facilities to house the players of the Seattle Garages. These living areas are mostly located in the large, constantly shifting network of rooms that lie behind and sometimes underneath the stands of The Big Garage. The facilities are easily accessible from the locker rooms and other entrances are located in the concessions and the exterior for the convenience by team members.

Like the rest of The Big Garage, the halls are raw concrete and, as one ventures further in, they become progressively grungier. Occasional murals and pride flags fill the hallway with splashes of bright color. Various concert fliers and band posters of all kinds are plastered across the walls. They range in age and genre, from vintage posters for the Talking Heads to the band’s own advertisements. Windows present views of Puget Sound, the field, the concessions walkway, or the surrounding city, but their locations don’t seem to line up with where the exterior of the building should be. The hallways often move around. And stairwells to other floors disappear and reappear. While visitors may find this labyrinth nigh impenetrable, Garages team members report that navigation is easy. When asked in an interview, team slugger Oliver Loofah said, “People say the Big Garage is a maze, but I just don’t relate. I guess the secret is to just think about where you want to end up, walk through the nearest hallway, and boom, you’re there. Unless you’re Theodore Cervantes of course…” At this point in the interview, Loofah began giggling and would not elaborate further.

The team facilities include practice areas and small performance spaces, a kitchen, various workshops and common areas, storage closets, the instrument containment center, and, most importantly, rooms for each and every member of the Garages’ roster. The rooms are set up even if a player chooses to live elsewhere, so that they will always have a private place within The Big Garage. No one seems to be in charge of creating them, and they may in fact be manifested by The Big Garage itself, though players will always chip in to help make the rooms more homey. When players move on from the team, their rooms are preserved as is, so that they always have a home when they return to The Big Garage.

Mapping Attempts

While much of the main living area is fairly known and well traveled, much of the deeper interior is relatively unexplored and home to all sorts of hidden things. These recesses are where the many shadows on the Seattle Garages roster reside, as well as the home of the ever elusive Sound Tech Shades. Explorers report finding rare vending machines, a pipe organ, and even doors to alternate versions of The Big Garage. Several mapping projects have attempted to establish a floor plan. The most recent of these was initiated by Kenneth Midcentury, a member of the Lil' Roadies with a special interest in Urban Exploration, who said about the project, "WHAT is up my mutuals, my besties, and my haters, it is CHABOI Kenny Mid coming at you PRERECORDED from the one, the only, you know her you love her, it's BIG, it's a GARAGE….. it's the BIG GARAGE! Today we're going on a SUPER HYPEBEAST EXPEDITION into…… the western east wing. Now everyone knows that when you go in the Big Garage you never know what you're gonna get. Remember that time we found the room that was nothing but copies of volume 3 of My Hero Acadlemia? You DON'T?? Well then you must not be subscribed! If you don't wanna miss all the SWEET ACTION! remember to SMASSHHHHHH that subscribe button and INCINERATE THAT BELL. And while you're there why not leave a comme-" A player close to the Lil' Roadies was then recorded as saying, "Kenneth! Can you please do your videos somewhere else? I'm trying to sleep." Kenneth Midcentury responded with, "Aw come on, Ollie! It's not just a video, it's a vlog!! I'm trying to show everyone how mysterious and dangerous the Big Garage is!! It's a gold mine of content! Did you know someone saw a monster in here once??" The Garages player, who asked to remain anonymous in this record, was quoted as replying, "Don't talk about Ron like that." For reasons which are perhaps obvious, an actual blueprint of the Big Garage has never been completed.
