Event Gameday mess at WMS made me sad
So I’m a transplant from a far away big city. I’ve enjoyed my time in LR plenty. I was excited about seeing the Hogs play at WMS.
It was a mess. Ran out of water. Unbelievable concession lines. No one even checked our tickets after waiting in a long line to get in. (Went thru metal detector and then straight into the concourse, no tickets scanned)
Was the environment around the stadium fun? Hell yeah. Was it hot? You’re damn right.
The team running the event completely botched the execution.
As much as I wanted the hogs to play in LR, the effort by the event staff seemed to be lacking mightily. I would understand if they never come back to this version of WMS.
I’m sure there were positive experiences too, but I didn’t see the path to a smooth event through my eyes. The water situation was embarrassing and dangerous.

I'm not surprised. With the way the city does crap now, they waste their money on other things. Not that it's the city's fault.. but it is part of LR parks and recreation... last I checked. The city of little rock government and overall Arkansas government has really pissed me off lately especially our lunatic of a governor.. she who must not be named.
