The lack of preparedness by the entire football operation was
abhorrent. The team goes without further explanation, but the stadium
and access to and from was very neglected.
My mom is near 60 and
my dad 70, and those kind of conditions will prevent both of them from
attending a game during anything more than a stiff breeze in the
future.
My mom was lucky to escape with a few bruises and not a broken wrist after slipping and falling exiting the fieldhouse.
Further,
my dad is a Vietnam vet with neuropathy in his legs from Agent orange
exposure; he can't walk all that well without pain, and the cold seems
to exacerbate it. But do you think we could get some kind of assistance
to either get him to our car or get the car to him? Nope. Granted, I
hadn't prepared by figuring this out beforehand, but the rent a cops and
other staff there were of absolutely zero help. They told us he had to
walk from Stadium way around to the north side of the fieldhouse, and
basically tough sh!t. I had to plea with one of the parking kids to
give my parents a lift in his car - whoever you are, thank you for
having a a heart and common sense.
Anyway, icemelt is dirt cheap
and they should have ordered it 2 months ago, so there is no excuse for
the conditions around the stadium. I mean, they had all day... smh.
