INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- A new California bill could allow VIP suite holders at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood to be served alcohol until 4 a.m.

Assembly Bill 3206 would make Intuit Dome, the new $2 billion arena that opened this month, the only late-night bar in the state serving alcohol past 2 a.m.

The bill proposes that VIP suite holders gain access to the extended bar service, excluding regular venue attendees.

In Chicago, the majority of the 24/7 red and blue lines are only twin-tracked (the Northside red line is quad-tracked for roughly 7.5 miles, but most of the stations there only have center median platforms, so the outbound express tracks can't even access the platforms anyway).

To perform routine track maintenance, the CTA periodically closes roughly 1 - 2 mile-long sections of one side of the twin-tracks at a time in the middle of the night, and then runs two-way single track ops over that section. Obviously not ideal for wait and travel times when in effect, but I guess the CTA thinks it's worth it to keep the lines running 24/7.
