Topic: High School Game At Edwards Stadium

[Flat Tire 2]

I see that Cabell Midland and Ironton are playing a game tonight at MU. Is this a new policy?

i see they've borrowed the Marshall line when it comes to ticket sales: "They?re expecting a large crowd, so make sure to get there early for tickets."  i guess when in Rome...  hahaha

i will be really surprised if the crowd won't fit in between the 40s (if all 50-some rows were to be used).

not knocking the idea, i like that they're doing this, but the crowds for these games...there's no sense making it out to be something it's not gonna be.

First, this is an exciting opportunity for the young men from both schools to play in a larger, neutral venue.
Kudos to Marshall for helping make something like this happen. Hopefully other schools in the Tri state  will take advantage.
I don't know the financials behind it however, it should help local establishments in Huntington before and after the game.

It's a great idea, imo both for public relations and potential recruiting for athletes and students.
