  2. Well, I wouldn't consider it an accident if he intended to make contact with him, which it appears that he did--an accident that he connected with his face like that and turned his head backwards, sure. I will say this though, it was effective. I don't think another person went down that particular set of steps after that.
  3. I agree. The only thing that really made it sort of bad was that he happened to connect with his face.
  4. Not that I am inclined to post it publicly, but I do have a good video of a guy getting popped in the face pretty good by one of the DPD officers. It seemed more like he was just trying to grab him as he was running onto the field and happened to catch his face, but it doesn't really look so good.
  5. Maybe I wasn't exactly clear--I don't really disagree with what you are saying. I am not suggesting the amount be lowered, just that filling in that area needs to be a priority. I have my seats one section over on the aisle, so I sit literally 3 feet from a seat that would cost me $250 more per year in MGC donation to get. While, if I had all the money in the world I would happily give it, I don't. I don't have too much incentive to spend more to end up with really not any better seats. I know there are plenty of others like me, because those sections next to the middle two are a lot fuller.
  6. I would start with trying to fill the gaping hole in the middle sections caused by the $500-level MCG requirement that was left by a lot of those who could/would pay that in the past moving to the club/suite level.
  7. ^ Yeah, the Cotton Bowl would have actually looked a lot fuller had they spaced in some unsold seats in those sections (other than the top rows in the lower bowl).
  8. I actually went into eat at some Thai restaurant in Frisco on Saturday, and he was there with his family eating. Fortunately for the restaurant, the other places at Frisco Square were really busy, and I didn't notice him there until I had ordered my drink--otherwise I would have had to walk out for not wanting to taint my lungs by breathing the same air as him.
  9. Awesome! That proves the point of the helpfulness of calling to confirm. Sorry for sounding the parking alarms.
  10. Does anyone know if it is still possible to purchase more tickets for this event tonight? I tried calling the ticket office and after sitting on hold for 6 minutes got a message that they are closed even though it is before 3:00 PM--the hours they published for today.
  11. It's a good thing this didn't happen tomorrow, but it's worth keeping an eye on to make sure service is restored as anticipated: http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2013/12/downtown-dart-rail-service-stopped-after-tractor-trailer-struck-poles-that-supply-power-to-rail.html/
  12. I just was told from a friend of mine that is in the Dallas Wind Symphony (HQ at the Band Shell) that he thought parking was typically $5-10 for events there, so he wasn't surprised that it would be $15 for this.
  13. Yeah, that seemed really high to me. All joking aside about calling to confirm, but if someone wants to call and make sure I didn't just misunderstand, the number is (214) 670-8400.
  14. So, I just called the parking number for Fair Park and was told that parking for this evening is $15. I made him repeat that and clarify that he was not talking about tomorrow for the game, and he confirmed. That seriously can't be right, can it? I have parked for less than that (or free) for events at Fair Park Music Hall.
  15. And, it is supposed to be sunny. Those temps in the sun are not bad at all--shall I even say quite pleasant.
  16. I believe that RV mentioned last night that you still would still be able to purchase tickets through the school at the Omni today.
  17. Does anyone know the parking situation for the pep rally at the Band Shell at Fair Park tomorrow--paid or free?
  18. Renaissance has been green for most of December at the top, so I assume it has been for Christmas.
  19. I think I may have to sleep on the roof of my building tonight if I get to look at this all night.
  20. Yeah, it seems a bit dark ages without even any bar codes on the tickets. So, I take it that eliminates the option of print at home since they will not be scanned.
