TheMaximumHornetSting Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Fans,Coaches and Players are outraged at the GHSA. Not because they cancelled but because they waited till the last minute to do so. Fans who paid for entrance to the Mercedes Bens Stadium where not refunded. When The 5A and 6A games where cancelled both WRHS and Rome where already at the stadium Coffee and Lee where already in Atlanta when the games where Cancelled. Fans,Players and Coaches are petitioning for the postponed games to be played on Sunday. The GHSA has yet to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had no idea conditions would deteriorate as they did! The REAL issue is the DAMN DOT, who was caught with it's pants down, by not preparing for this snow and ice! OOOOOOR, you could blame it on GLOBAL WARMING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Honestly I can understand the concern.... Ive been stuck in frozen Atlanta... and its some real BS... I think the GHSA made the right decision but At the same time theybe been calling for Winter storms all week and you didnt once bother to prepare.

ECHS05 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I can see cancelling Coffee vs. Lee Co.... But Warner Robins & Rome were definitely already there... Why not let them play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s because the state as a whole isn’t used to this at all. So we treat it very cautiously when involves students riding to and from a game in Atlanta. The weather was worsening so they were trying to limit travel. It’s stupid. It sucks. It’s a bothersome for us wanting to enjoy and the kids. But I do get it.

If can understand this decision as well, but at the very very least, all of the ticket sales for these games should be prorated since the fans will not get a full day worth of games and the hotels should refund those who choose not to stay, especially since the price gouged the hell out of folks. It's a total mess. Unfortunate, but a damn mess nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Folks definitely didn't buy $22 tickets to sit in rinky dink Lee county stadium. You can bet your ass on that one. I do wonder why they couldn't move the postponed games til Sunday instead of away from a "neutral" field to crappy little stadiums. People have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars to attend the games at the Benz. People that wouldn't sit outdoors. Elderly and handicapped etc. This is a pretty raw deal for many.

I haven't checked the Benz schedule but it is possible they have other events scheduled that they need Sunday to set for. Also, scheduling all the people necessary to pull a game off can be a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check the "rack rate" for most of those rooms I bet you will find that there really wasn't price gouging at all. It is amazing the listed price for these rooms, not that they normally sell them for that rate. This is prime time in Atlanta due to the season.

While there were predictions for some weather, I can assure you that the amount of snow in the Metro area and North Ga far exceeded any predictions. Don't forget that not only are they concerned with the people in the building at the time, they were worried about them getting home as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many large shows or events have the venue for several days prior to the event to set up. Again, I don't know and haven't looked. I've just been at the Dome setting for an event several days away before and know it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 all I know is... If they decide to postpone the remaining games that have yet to be postponed, they better do so before about 9 a.m. in the morning. From about 8 a.m. to 10 a.m everyone I know is peeling out for the ATL. Let me tell ya... That's a lot of people too. The fan buses have decided to not leave until 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. I think. They were going to leave at 9 a.m. as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Ready or not, here we come. Checked every news outlet that I can find online including the GHSA official site and everything appears to be a go. The weather shows light snow still falling in the ATL area, but it should be totally gone by noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
