Weather Fri night!

[NDNmom91]

Ok, Coop said on setxsports.com that there should be moderate to light rain at kickoff time Fri night...doesn't sound too bad to me. I'm bringing lots of umbrellas and plastic tarps to share, so Indian Nation better NOT let the chance of a little rain keep yall away....we gotta show Brenham NOTHING will keep us AWAY!!

:nono: Or, here's a thought! Get panchos, and/or slicker suits & leave the umbrellas at home so the fans that come can actually see the game!!! That would be greatly appreciated.

Or bring umbrellas and only use them before kickoff. I always put mine away during the game.

 

[png9mon]

;D Amen! NO UMBRELLAS DURING THE GAME!!!

 

[Cheermom4]

Rain won't keep us away. I have all the slicker suits and ponchos packed. Extra change of clothes in the bag. Is it Friday yet???

 

[Indiansalltheway]

there is no rain for friday just a 5% chance of rain it will be gone by kickoff

Two encouraging tidbits on the Houston weather this evening...

1 - It looked like the peak of the Harris County rain was around 8 a.m. - much less in the evening. (weather.com doesn't necessarily agree)

2 - They also mentioned the possibility that the rain would be more prevalent in the southern part of the area.

By tomorrow there should be an hour by hour forecast on weather.com - of course Harris County weather predictions generally change by the hour anyway!

In any case - if you are driving in the rain - please drive safely!

Yes, Please don't use unbrellas. I think all stadiums shouls ban umbrellas. I know some stadiums do. If you get stuck behind someone with one you can't see anything.We will have our ponchos ready! Does anyone from the houston area know if Aldine allows you to bring in outside drinks,,coffee,hot chocolate etc.? Most HS stadiums do, but some won't allow it.

Leaving the umbrellas at home is a good idea. They obstruct view and, in close seating arrangements, drain water onto the people behind you. Slickers and panchos are definitely the way to go.

Wife and I went to Academy this afternoon to get us some poncho and they were out of PURPLE!!! had to get the clear one!

 

[indianforever]

after looking at some models it looks like the rain will be ending in houston friday evening.......hopefully

I saw the website for Thorne Stadium on one of the other threads which had a lot of information about concession stands, restrooms, etc. I didn't read all of it and don't remember which thread it was. Google W. W. Thorne Stadium.

Man, yall focus in on one thing and just run with it huh? : I get it about the umbrellas, I was just making a statement, hoping the rain wouldn't keep people away, that's it! I don't intend to use my umbrella during the game, but I will while standing in line. Sorry, didn't mean to bring out the "umbrella" police olice:!

This afternoon the Aldine athletice directors office told me the following:

1) There is only one parking lot for all attendees. There are signs posted for Visitors and Home teams.
The Visitor section is as you enter the Pky Lot. The Home team sign in deeper into the Pky L.

2) No food or drinks are allowed to be brought throught the ticket gate.

3) The option for SRO tickets was left up to the individual schools. This doesn't seem correct to me
but since I don't know any of the Indian Chiefs, someone with connections will have to check that
out.

Weather - For the Houston area most of the rain will be over by 1 p.m. on Friday and most of it is supposed to be south of I-10. So, it looks like we may get a break on the weather. It will be chilly though. Keep praying that the rain doesn't come any further north. A good source of weather for Houston is myfoxhouston.com/subindes/weather.

After the game we will be able to say that PNG Dunbar'ed the Cubs from the 4A Championship!

I am not doubting you, Lonestar, but when you view the satellite view of Thorne Stadium on www.TexasBob.com it appears that there is a parking lot on both sides of the stands. I guess we will find out what gives when we get there. Thanks for the info.

How strange that they would say there is only one parking lot for all. I've driven by there to check it out, and there is definitely parking on both sides of the stadium. Home team parking on west and north, and visitor on east.
