Lakepoint parking fees for college games??

Had me going for a minute there Buckeye. Haha. Yeah, they do charge though. I went to see one of my son's college games there last year. Beautiful facility. Worth the admission. Not sure he'll be playing there this season, but maybe I'll keep an eye out for some other college games and stop by during the spring. It's only about 45 minutes from where I live.

I'm like is he kidding..yes he is!

Good one Buckeye, best of luck to your son.

 

Enjoy the ride!

Come thru East Texas and I will give you $35 for all the good stuff that I've read from you!!!!!

Nicely done, Buckeye.

 

I logged on and thought, "Oh no. Not another LakePoint thread. Hope it's not too late to nip this one in the bud."

 

You got me.

 

 

That was hilarious! Thank you.

Buckeye2015,

 

My first reaction was OH NO!

 

Before you head to LP next year get a hold of me.  I might be able to make your trip a little more enjoyable.

Free parking pass, PG staff?

10% off coupon on a bottle of water.

got to say you got me. I was like, "seriously he's going to let $35 keep him from seeing his son's first college games". Well played. 

Have not seen our schedule yet, but I would LOVE for TT to play at Lakepoint in the Spring.  Or anywhere on this side of the country...

 

BTW, Buck.  You almost had me.  

Probably not a good idea to start another lakepoint thread.  I see it getting closed after about four pages.  ;0)
Actually I got free parking because I looked like a coach. Lol

^^^who knew Bike coaches shorts would come back in style?^^^

 

LOL!

Saw college son play there one weekend last spring.  We found out on Wednesday that the schedule had been changed (due to the awful east coast weather), we checked in with our bosses, and started driving part way to Atlanta on Thursday.  

 

Gag post or not....you will enjoy Lakepoint, and try to get up to Cartersville during some off time.  If the weather is good, we enjoyed Kennesaw Mountain, too.

 

Jealous.....do you really have a schedule yet?!?!?!

10% off a bottle of water - more valuable than you think!  

Anyone going to Lakepoint with 16u+ kids please let me know, I would LOVE my son to see some of the bigger guys play, and since it is 25 minutes away I would gladly pay the parking/gate fee for some quality baseball for my son to watch! (Cheaper than going to the movies with him!!!!)

I have some of these if this helps ease the terrible burden. 

Funny!! I've been reading the posts over the summer wondering where everyone lives that do not have to pay. We have 2 facilities here that at least one of my kids plays at every week or multiple times a week and there is always a $5 fee., and trust me, neither is as nice as Lakepoint!!

Hi All - Buckeye's post was timely as I was in the Emerson courthouse today hopeful to resolve a Lakepoint parking situation.  Its a sticky subject with our family!

 

Long story short....  Back in early June @ the PG-EC Invitational, BEFORE Lakepoint had published a parking policy we heard that Players parked for free & we asked the PG staff if that was true after sons 1st game @ LP.  At next game @ LP my son drove, with my wife and I in the car, and after his games we found a citation for Criminal Trespass for $174.  Amazed all this silly stuff happened over $5 Parking. 

 

DEFINITELY do not intend or want to stir-up or rehash the prior Lakepoint threads. Glad my 2018 son will have the opportunity to play there thru his HS years.

 

Turns out I get to make another trip over to Emerson in a couple months to speak with the Judge so stay tuned..... 

Prestont, please keep this discussion over on the NWBA site, this posting was a JOKE by Buckeye, please don't ruin this thread with ANYTHING negative about any Lakepoint experience.  There are at least 5 other threads to vent on about the subject, but not this one please.

CaCO3Girl - pls re-read my post. I stated I did not want to rehash other threads (with 8 pages of comments).  

 

Buckeye's post/joke was timely since I spent the morning at the Emerson courthouse, and I replied to the post just like others.

I knew this post would evolve into some complaints.  Joke or not there was no good reason to create this thread.

I loved the original posting!  I got pulled in thinking it was another complaint only to find a well constructed joke.  I think the $5 parking fee will be used for comic relief for some time.  While I am not a fan of the total cost of travel ball, this small charge actually helps put everything into perspective.

 

As for the criminal trespass charge, I found that very interesting too.  Sounds like the guy must have blown through the entrance and barely missed a couple of the guys and gals with their folding chairs.  I have to ask - how does one get a criminal trespass charge without first being asked to leave?  Maybe this is a bigger conspiracy between Lakepoint and the city of Emerson.  While we are on Emerson, what is with all the trucks parked on the on-ramp?  There must have been 20+ the other night as we were leaving.

 

Lots of serious threads on this board - lets keep this one light hearted.

Buckeye2015 - be sure to bring your own drinking hose.  If coming from the North, we suggest that you bring it inside at least 7 days before your departure.

We've reached the point where we should be content to leave well enough alone.

 

Buckeye, thanks for the chuckle.

 

Let's move on.
