WOSgrad Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I would not change the venue of the game, but I might look into changing the day of the game to a Saturday. They might be able to sell TV rights to the game and boost revenue. After all, this is the marquee game and deserves the spotlight of its own day. prepballfan, James Mosley, football04 and 1 other 4 Quote
fox Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I say NO! Why give all the money away to the rented stadium? You MIGHT sell more tickets, but not enough to offset the additional costs. how much does it cost to rent lamar for a game? didn't lumberton and HF play there this season? the cost can't be that crazy of a number.

Brubaker Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I don't think it's about the money Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 how much does it cost to rent lamar for a game? didn't lumberton and HF play there this season? The problem with using Lamar's stadium is getting the stadium when there is no Lamar game at home or even on the road. Lamar will not host a high school game the night before one of their home games. Ain't gonna happen. LU does not like having to have people "stay behind" to accommodate for a high school game when they are on the road. That is why you do not see any high school games played at PUS during the season. Lumberton/HF game was on a Thursday before Lamar had their first game. Playoff games have been played there but only after Lamar season has ended. The only way I see MCM played at Lamar is for it to be played on a Saturday when Lamar is off. That would be only by the luck of the schedule. Too many hoops to jump through. Keep it at the home stadiums. Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 I want to say Lamar charged Silsbee/Carthage $2000 for their playoff game last year. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 Guess we need to start charging for parking like BISD!! lmao! Quote
jordibug15 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 Lumberton and HF got charged $5000 each for the game this season. Only know this because my sister's dad works there Quote
