Excuse the mess

Postby FroggieFever » Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:01 pm

If you're planning on coming to the game this week please do excuse the mess at the stadium. It's a war-zone. It's going to take some extra time navigating around the stadium due to the renovations so allocating additional time might be necessary. If you're on the West side, concessions will be limited. Portable toilets will serve as impromptu restrooms. It's going to be a gem when finished (pics included below - it's going to be cool for you all to see it before and after) but it's a mess right now.

If you're on the east side, WEAR SUNSCREEN, drink water. I saw no less than ten people seeking medical attention at half time.

If you don't have a place to park I recommend R. L. Paschal high School (parking is free!). -- 3001 Forest Park Blvd, Fort Worth, TX 76110 -- There's a free shuttle and it runs regularly.

If you have any questions, do ask.

Aloha.

Hey does that Church on the East side still offer Parking? I thought I read somewhere that is permit parking now

Should have played the Game at Ford in Dallas this year and we could have gone to frog world the next 2 yrs. Would have made the most sense.

Is this dirt lot going to be the same location of the MC tent as last time? What do they charge to park here?
