hpfan or another...

Post by No Quarter »

One more time please.

What can you tell me about tickets for the HP and Kilgore Regional game?

I see that Rose Stadium has 14k seats only and that's quite drop after Texas Stadium.

I went to the Longview - Lufkin playoff game there at the first week in December last year.
Drove from Plano, and got there an hour before the game with out a ticket. Sat on the 20, and
was glad I got there early.

They kept selling tickets after the 14k were gone, and people were sitting in the grassy end zone area of the bowl. The bands were sitting in chairs at opposite corners of the end zones to give more room for fans. I think I remember there were about 19k - 20k there.

Too bad the Lobos, and Lufkin got knocked out early this year.
May the forth be with us.

Thanks to all for the tips about getting there early to maybe get a seat. And parking, pretty much catch as catch can I guess, but any insights on that?

I headed east on Front St. turned right on Fair Park Dr to go into the parking lots which looked all full an hour + before the game. Followed it around by the Stadium where it turns east, and turns into Houston St. I'm looking at a Tyler map. Parked down the road a little bit on Houston.

Hey Mustang35, where did you get the rockin L flag?
