It's wrong that they won't don't devote more than half of the spaces to it, since it would be very easy for people going to a game to carpool, probably would increase the fun of going. In marked contrast to a parking HOV restriction, which would be readily enforced in person when parking is paid for, the HOV lane on Central Park Drive West is a joke--as far as I can tell about 2 out of 3 cars (other than cabs of livery, which by definition are going to meet the 2+ threshold) are in violation.
