Baseball: Jackson St game 2/21

[rynodawg]

Was considering trying to attend, but does anyone know the ticket situation? Is it confirmed that the game is at JSU’s home field? The seating looks limited there, so wondering if it will be like USM, where you’d have to buy their season ticket in order to attend. Per the JSU twitter, a season ticket is $40.

Was moving one game to Smith Wills not an option? I realize that is JSU’s call, but seems like they could have sold a lot of tickets at a larger stadium.

Pretty sure showing up and getting a ticket won't be hard.

It is only one game, so making it away makes sense. I do not like the area which is why I and many will not go. I doubt you have a big issue with tickets with many Bulldogs not wanting to go to that area.

It is not news that JSU thinks they are bigger than what they are. So this is probably a way to get them to come next year to Starkville. I do not mind this simply because RPI values a road win more than a neutral site win. Why not get the extra help instead of being penalized by playing 20 mins away? We play in Pearl twice a year anyway so it is not like we do not play in the area.

Only play in Pearl once this year, and next year too I assume

Due to our home and Home series with USM.

And I’ll go to Jackson State for the game.

The game is on JSU campus. Haven't seen their stadium, but I played tennis at JSU last summer and the campus is pretty decent and facilities pretty good. It's well isolated from the neighborhood it's in. But be sure you know the fastest route to the Interstate well when leaving. You don't want to take a wrong turn or spend any more time in the area around there than you absolutely have to.

Judging by thread, I guess not. My main worry was that from looking at bleachers on google maps, it looks to be standing room only, if more than 100 or so people show up. Assuming tickets are around $5, will try to catch at least part of the game though.

I'd be suprised

if more than 100 people are there. State fans won't go because they mostly consist of folks like catvet, and JSU "fans" won't go because they don't give a ****.

Stop by 1801 Dalton St, before and get a burger at Stamp's!

You shouldn’t get lost as long as you have a basic knowledge of Jackson’s streets. Basically, go east or west on any major street and you will get to either 20, 220, or 55.
