Okay...admittedly, I slept in on Friday...longer than is ever normal. My son woke me like a little kid on Xmas morning.
When I saw the time, I started throwing things into my suitcase and, remembering the forecast of mid-50's and higher both days (lies! All lies!) I didn't pack appropriately. Now, you'd think after revolving around the sun for half a century, I'd know better, but I'm still a moron on occasion.
Long story being short: the wife wanted to know if we'd been to Bass Pro to buy $100+ worth of hats, gloves and handwarmers (she's addicted to viewing our online bank accounts). Turns out, my Christmas presents have been already bought and paid for.
Works for me. Wait until she gets the gloves I bought on the morning of 12/25....and I don't have to shop!
All that being said, I'd much rather watch the games at Plaster.
1. Much further from home, but!
2. I can leave the stadium after dark and not be worried that I don't have my glock on me
3. Springfield is a great town
4. Cashew chicken
5. Reminisce about undergrad school
6. Don't get harassed for spare change while trying to buy a ticket.
Plaster over the "barn" every time...
I tried spelling it both ways and neither looked correct to me.Vianney. Only because you asked.
I was at the Dome most of the years the games were there. I never felt unsafe or threatened by anyone while entering or leaving the stadium. Did something happen?Okay...admittedly, I slept in on Friday...longer than is ever normal. My son woke me like a little kid on Xmas morning.

Did you see how many Lamar and Monety fans there were in the stands???And like somebody else said - there are plenty of big hs stadiums that could host the smaller classes.
1. Friday night was too cold for the thieves to be out?A friend of mine coaches for Harrisonville, and traveled back home with his wife, and said when he returned to the car this year, she had inadvertently left the passenger window down. Her purse, the kids Ipad and many other things where untouched in the car. Hell the car would have been gone in the Lou.
Haven't been to Springfield lately But when I was in school there it was the cashew chicken capital of the world. Great town!!
Jeff CityDid you see how many Lamar and Monety fans there were in the stands???
No high school stadium could have accommodated all of them without people lining the track two or three deep...
What's the largest capacity high school stadium in MO?
Raw Meat?I was at the Dome most of the years the games were there. I never felt unsafe or threatened by anyone while entering or leaving the stadium. Did something happen?
Who did that?There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that St Louis is statistically one of the most dangerous cities in America.
I see. Just curious. Well explained.Sorry, I've been idle.
No, I've never had anything dramatic personally. I know it's happened there via news, though. I'm getting to be an old man, though. I did have to circumvent someone laying supine underneath the overpass last year. The good Samaritan in me wanted to check on the guy face down, but I was like: "Don't do it! The ol' pretending to be dead trick, eh? Well, I ain't buying it."
I don't enjoy the panhandling or the long walk in the dark back to the vehicle. Was I safe? Probably. Does any congested urban area make me uncomfortable? Yep.
I still backpack every summer in grizzly wilderness and i feel safer out there than I do in downtown St. Louis. Silly to most, but not to me.
Aren't you glad you asked?
