We had our first game yesterday. After driving around for awhile we finally found the field only to be left with trying to find a parking space. For some reason the field, playground and pool area was put in the middle of town with no parking area designated for it. So every side street and alley was packed. When did it become a normal practice to charge an admittance fee for elementary grade level football games? Is it not enough that we pay for the uniforms and do all the fund raising activities (and there are alot of them) and drive all over the three counties for the games, not to mention the concession stands that charge 2 dollars for fries? Maybe I wouldn’t have minded if someone had mentioned this before the game but no one did. Thankfully I had some cash in my wallet and could pay to get in but normally I don’t carry cash. I’ve got my checkbook, my cards and that’s it. I don’t know how much the next game is going to cost me or if 2 dollars per person is the norm.
We didn’t win our game but the girls had fun. Hopefully Saturday’s game will go better. At this point as long as we score it’s a step up.
