Indianette Fundraiser Tonight 7:30???

At the booster meeting, some of us saw posters advertising Sandlot being shown in the stadium tonight. We asked if this was for the general public and were told that it is a fundraiser for the Indianettes and that it is open to the general public. I am trying to double check this information. Is it open for anyone? I would like to know before I show up as the only adult there.

Yes, it's open to everyone. Admission is $3 (Even though I said $5 earlier. Sorry.) and the concession stand will be open.

Debating on whether or not to go to the movie. I'm tired. Anyone else going?

Woke up from napping too late to go to the movie, but I just drove by. Holy Cow, the screen is awesome at night! They were letting the kids sit on the field to watch the movie, and the scoreboard said "Movie Night". Looked like a decent turn out. Hopefully they can continue to do this. It is something that can get the community involved with the school more.

That's one of the huge positives about the new stadium.

The stadium can be a community focal point. Movies, concerts and even community meetings can all be held in the stadium.

Probably not that many mosquitoes on the field turf either.

I have admit I like this kind of thinking. Community unity, that is. The Chamber tries to do this every so often, also. I wonder if that could become a joint venture type of thing. I don't think the Chamber ever charged anything for it, but I understand fund raisers, charging is not a problem and at $3, that is a deal. I was just thinking the Chamber seems to advertise it more, I knew nothing about it...

$3 is a lot better than any movie theater, the concession stand is open, and it's a fundraiser for our school's extra-curricular activities. Granted, the range of viewable movies is limited because it's still a school function, and the movies are played weeks, months, or even years after they were taken out of theaters, but how often do we go and see the movies we want to see in theaters, anyways? It's my hope that these events occur more often and that multiple school clubs, organizations, and sponsors are allowed to use the stadium. Maybe we could even sell prime seats in the pressbox. I'm sure they have audio hooked up in there, and there's an elevator for restroom and concession runs. I bet that the district's various organizations could turn this into a major fundraiser. And, like IndianFan and NDNS81 said, it can be rented out to other organizations as a source of extra income for the district.

You know, it's kind of funny. On this site and others, we were getting blasted for our "grandiose" new stadium and all of its "amenities," but, now, that investment is looking better and better. There were several people who said that we were spending all those millions for something that would yield virtually no return and be used only a few nights out of the year. Those voices are silent, now.
