Holy Cross Pre-game

[slosho]

There might be additional tickets available. I hadn’t realized that Spring season ticket holders had the opportunity to purchase their seats. So I had purchased 6 tickets. Come to find out after receiving a phone call today from ticket office I had 6 tickets waiting for me. So I was able to take them and put the other 6 back into the hopper.

I sent you a PM please contact me regarding this,

If the full Pride is going to play and they have to socially distance, that will require a large area.

There will be no Band Per NCAA policy.

Both QBs Saturday were nominated for the Jerry Rice Award: https://goholycross.com/news/2021/4/...ice-award.aspx

Both teams are accustomed to outdoor football. Holy Cross plays in the 23,500-capacity, natural grass Fitton Field. It looks like a great venue in the pictures I've seen. the present structure dates back to 1924 but the seating was replaced and expanded in 1986 and photos show a classic, updated stadium. The seating is close to the action. The largest crowd to attend a game at Fitton field is 27,000.

Fitton Field has "checkerboard" endzones just like we have at Dana J Dykhouse Stadium...just a different colors (purple and white).

Holy Cross also has an outstanding indoor practice facility with a 100-yard artificial turf surface.

Fitton Field trivia: According to the Wikipedia entry on Fitton Field, the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movie, "The Game Plan", a football comedy, used Fitton Field for some of the film [Johnson plays a professional football quarterback who discovers he has an eight-year-old daughter from a prior relationship.]

Hey HC87, whats up buddy?

SDSU is going to be a major challenge for the Crusaders. I hope the HC defensive line can put some pressure on the quarterback.
I think you might see a few Cross fans and parents.

The drive for me in Woostah (Worcester) would be 22 hours.

Headline of the Telegram and Gazette Sport Page
"HC football not worried about latest challenge: meet No. 1 South Dakota St. in FCS playoffs"

Maybe someday down the road in the playoffs, SDSU will have to travel to Fitton Field.

I hope the Cross keeps it close!

Go Cross Go!

Hey, Cross. Do you have a link to that article? Thanks!

It looked like all of the end zone sections and the SE corner sections were blocked off when I got on at noon today. So I would assume those were reserved for students.

I just bought my family's tickets. Looks like there are about 150 left for purchase.

I wonder how many tickets were actually for sale? Have to think they reserved quite a bit for students... should be a good showing from them

If what is showing online is correct there is only a few hundred tickets left.
