LRCA....."wussdom" rears its head

[Yellowcake]

LRCA is limiting the number of tickets to the game.

whatever it takes to try to gain an advantage. I hope we curb stomp them.

I wonder if it has anything to do with fire code regulations or will it be a convenient explanation for the action

[Lets Go]

It's a outdoor venue so that kind of rules out the fire code thing. its going to be raining and the visitors stands are in the drainage ditch along hwy 10. So maybe they are trying to eliminate the number of fans that will try to take over the home side. At least the players won't be playing in knee deep mud this time. Their turf looks faster than PAs so it's probably going to be a bad night for them anyway.

[Rocket23]

Tickets sold is being capped 3,750 people, not including game personnel.  That is capacity with SRO.

[Lets Go]

I assume that is the "single room occupancy"? Wow! That's funny.

[Lets Go]

Probably a good thing it's a small school like PA. If it were someone like GWood. That travels well the LRC fans wouldn't get in or you would see that "SRO" grow exponentially.

[pantherblue]

3750 people at that football field and a lot will still be standing all game long....

"We," huh?  What's your jersey number and position, big man?

Honestly I think it's better. Would you rather show up on Friday and be turned away? And they gave PA tickets to sell. Now how many I don't know.

[Intelligentsia]

The rain and cold will keep the fair weather fans at home, I doubt any they have to turn folks away.

[Maynard G Krebs]

The AD from LRC is at PA now selling the tickets.  $6 each at the Alex Hugg gymnasium.

[Lets Go]

Maynard, how are you possibly going to make the razorback game and this one too?

[Maynard G Krebs]

had to make a tough decision, travel 2 and 1/2 hours or 5 minutes to a game

[Lets Go]

I made the other one. See you at halftime if it's still a game.

[The_Pioneer]

That's kinda embarrassing. 

[JohnBarleycorn]

Can tickets be purchased at LRCA this week, before Friday?

[Maynard G Krebs]

Can tickets be purchased at LRCA this week, before Friday?

Not sure about ar LRC, but they will be available at PA from 10-12 noon on Friday. 

[JohnBarleycorn]

What's the word on AAA passes? Pass holders need to wait until game time or can they get tickets with a pass at either PA or LRCA? Will they also close the gates to Pass holders when 3,750 is reached?

[Maynard G Krebs]

I have no idea who set the number of 3750. 

[DT]

Fire Marshal's office would be my thought.

[incogneto]

I have heard AAA passes are not counted in the 3750.  AAA HS coaches will be allowed on the LRCA sideline in the last post I saw. 

[AirWarren]

If Warren and Nashville weren't going at it, I would come to this game.

Maybe even the Maynard's of the world would let a commoner like myself sit on their side

I would allow you to sitteth at my right hand, but since your priorities are misguided and your attending the "other big game", please represent my proxy support for the Lumberjacks!

Going to be nasty. Rainy in south Arkansas.

Love some playoff football.

I was wondering the same.

Possible business opportunity for Maynard?  LOL!



Good Luck to both teams and
GO WARRIORS!

I actually bought 250 tickets yesterday and will be posing as a Salvation Army bell ringer at the Wal Mart across the street from LRC.  When you approach me, give a wink and a nod so I will know your intent.  Exchanges will be made discreetly.  The markup on the cost is a modest 100%. 

[JohnBarleycorn]

Got my tickets.

Where are u yellow cake?  If u don't have a jersey # then pls describe your "wuss" self to the "limited" crowd Friday, so we can all have a good laugh.

[Lanny]

I'm thinking of attending this one

[Maynard G Krebs]

Tickets?  He don't need no stinkin' ticket!

He probably won't, but have you ever wondered when you are at the back of a line and what the reason is why it is not moving.  LOL!

[Yellowcake]

I will be there tough guy. I will be whatever number PA posts on the scoreboard.

I am sorry LRCA rejected the offer to play the game at WMS. I understand the mommies and daddies doing all they can to try to give their little boys a competitive advantage. I don't think it will be enough, though.

Be happy it is going to be pouring rain. It will hide the tears more easily.

[VHSCoach2]

I can understand why LRCA didn't want to play at WMS (if that is, in fact, true).

They want to save their WMS experience for the following week... 


In all seriousness, this could very well end up being the Game of the Year. It's a shame it's in the semifinals and not the State Championship Game... then, it really could have been at WMS.

[Rocket23]

It is true. PA did approach LRCA about moving the game to WMS, but LRCA did not want to give up their home field advantage.  When asked by LRCA if he would move the game to WMS if it was at PA, of course Kevin Kelly told them no he wouldn't give up home field advantage either.

Besides I think playing it in WMS would lessen the environment because it is so huge.  Both LRCA and the smaller capacity PA stadium make for great atmospheres when they are packed.  I just hope the rain lets up.  Thank goodness for field turf.

[AirWarren]

Home field advantage at LRC? That stadium doesn't hold many people at all and I wouldn't think it would be that intimidating of a place.

[MDXPHD]

I'm sure PA would give up home field and play somewhere else too. Yellow, stop whining about everything. Just go tare care of business Friday.

[Eddie Goodson]

Don't bellyache and moan when you force schools to play way up in classification and their facilities don't match the level of competition they are playing. PA would have the same issue if the game was played there.

[Yellowcake]

The forecast suggests the game may go off during a lull in the rain. That would be nice.

I am not whining. I don't understand limiting tickets, but it is a good excuse to gig LRCA fans. So I will take advantage of it.

It's a game ladies. Just a game. It's all in good fun.

I expect a great game. And yes, I hope WE beat LRCA like a baby seal.

Just because there is a conspiracy theorist deep down in all of us......let's ponder this for a moment.

LRCA decides to cap ticket sales. 
Playoff gate money goes to AAA.

Might AAA get their shorts in a twist?  After all, that's less money AAA will get and we know how AAA salivates over money...

Also, might AAA be watching how these ticket sales are handled?  Has LRCA sold any advance tickets?  If so, have they been made available to only LRCA fans or have PA fans been given a chance to purchase as well? 

Might LRCA offer packages to new boosters - in turn for a contribution to the school, the fans gets free admission to the playoff game (and thus, that money does not end up in/at AAA)? 

All of this is conjecture (obviously) but it wouldn't stretch reality too far now would it?

PA fans have been allowed to purchase tickets.  LRC folks came to PA twice this week to sell tickets.

This is not the first time there has been this issue at LRCA. Ran into the same problem a few years back when PA played Micheal Dyer and LRCA and ESPN broadcast the game.

So it's a cap put on attendance by the city?

that's the big question.  don't know if it is capped by city regulations or what.

[Eddie Goodson]

No one will ever make me believe a fire marshal can limit the number of people at an outdoor event. You can have an outdoor concert at WMS, fill the stands, AND fill the field surface with people with no problems. You're going to try and tell me a fire marshal says you can't pack the two sides of a field with people? I do not buy it. I would have to be shown IN LAW by someone higher up the chain than that fire marshal that they have legal authority to do it.

The excitement of this game happening this week is electrifying. For most of the season these have been the top 2 ranked teams. Both private and both in LR. Too bad the weather is going to soften the spectator part of it to some degree. If this was a nice dry evening, it could have the possibility of drawing 5000 easy imo.  I would love to watch this game but I have to work some tomorrow and driving from Conway to be in the rain would be a factor but ultimately its the "cap" on attendance that will keep some of us away. Wish the AAA would use a place like Quigley where they could play. I mean that in a larger stadium (15K) but not too large like WMS. A packed house on both side with both bands, cameras, reporters, the playoffs BABY!!

[Lionheart88]

Home field advantage at LRC? That stadium doesn't hold many people at all and I wouldn't think it would be that intimidating of a place.

Home field is as much about the normal routine, getting dressed in your own locker room, not taking a bus to the game, etc as it is about crowd noise.  Probably moreso in high school.

You know that every stadium in the world has a maximum capacity, right?  I'm sure LSU could sell 150,000 tickets to Death Valley for certain marquee matchups, but the capacity is 102,351.  Most they've ever had there for a game?  102,351.  Why would LRCA oversell the capacity of their stadium?

That is a seating capacity. Stadiums all across north Louisiana oversell their seating capacity every week. I am addressing the notion that the fire marshal has any control of an outdoor event. What is going to happen? A grass fire?
