I hope I do this right. It's my first time to post.
I live out of state, but I'm currently in the Houston area while I help my elderly parents after my dad's heart attack in July, so...I'm 2 hours away from CS and have to take my dad to a medical appointment Friday afternoon.
I REALLY want to go to this game, but I don't want to drive 4 hours (RT) and not be able to get into the game.
Are (free) tickets being issued to assure one of getting into the game (especially since it's the night before a BIG football game)? or is it first-come first-admitted? and all seats are general admission? or what?
thanks for any info y'all can give me.
I don't think they turned anyone away last time. I'd try to get there 30 minutes prior. That said, last time fans were still coming in during the first couple of innings. I think the 6 pm start makes it a little harder so fans arrive later. We got there about 45 minutes to an hour early because I was with my 9 yo and we had the extra time. She wanted to get autographs but the opportunity didn't present itself.
I have no idea if this one will fill up (or fill up faster). It's LSU weekend vs. a top 10 Mizzou weekend on the football side. FWIW, I was able to get a hotel for Friday night only at Century Square before the Mizzou game. I doubt you can do that for LSU. My point being is there is more demand for LSU (especially with the current momentum) and maybe some of that spills over to the baseball game. I imagine (and hope) this fills up. Nothing beats an Aggie Baseball game.
Free admission, no tickets, limited concessions. It's not quite the same atmosphere as a regular game at Blue Bell but it's still awesome. I really, really wish I could go but I have to coach Friday night.
One last thing, the scouts all sat behind home plate b/c they were there early and usually have to sit in the concourse. They had their computers, ipads, etc. There were some empty seats there during the game (We sat in that section). Don't be afraid to go sit in that section. Also, you could stand in the concourse and fill in when people leave early.
Good luck! You should be fine.
