Opinion on the Houston College Classic for those who attended

Besides the apparent production issues in regards to the CST broadcasts, what were people opinion on the Classic?
For me it was nice to finally get to see Tiger Baseball in person again after a far too long time. I will say I like the GA seating and had no issues there. I personally had no issues with the concessions but I didn't attend the Friday game where people on here said they ran out of stuff. I like the fact we get to play 3 quality teams in 3 days in a Major League Park. Hope they come back in the near future.
Only complaint was they didn't open the doors till 10 am today and at that time they tried to funnel all the people waiting into the entrance nearest to the open ticket windows. One door and it was going slow with the ticket scanning and security. Luckily for me I knew they had an entrance next to the closed team store that had no line and nobody knew was open. They could have made this info available so fans could get in quicker.

It was a great experience...concessions were slow but otherwise, I enjoyed it

I loved the game Friday night. Great experience surrounded by tons of LSU fans.

My biggest complaint was the 40 minute wait for concessions only to get to the front and be told they're out of half of their already meager food and drink selection.

You sat in line for 40 minutes?

Had a great time this weekend. Except for the fact that it was freezing today because they had some of the OF windows open.

Loved it.
Anyone who complains about concessions is just looking for something to complain about IMO...

Friday night, it sure as hell felt like it.

Saturday was definitely much better. But that could have been because we weren't the 3rd game.

This thread specifically asks for any complaints or thoughts...

Great experience, but I'm biased because I'm a huge Astros fan who loves MMP. My one complaint would be the lack of heat. It's a climate-controlled stadium and even if you don't usually need heat during baseball season, the place should still have a heating element. And I sort of want to address my ire at former owner Drayton McLane, who should have made sure there was heat in the place when it was built.

Maybe if you had been watching baseball instead of waiting in line for concessions you'd have less complaints.
Posted on 3/8/15 at 4:18 pm to ell_13
I'm not sure I would have stayed in line past 7 minutes or so
Posted on 3/8/15 at 4:20 pm to GeauxxxTigers23
Exactly my point. Thank you

It was an incredible experience. I hope we return soon and play even bigger named teams. The concessions sucked and security was ridiculous but otherwise it was awesome.

I'd give it a 9 out of 10. Workers and marshals were friendly and outgoing. Lines at concessions Friday and at the gate today were long. I think they were understaffed and didn't expect the large amount of Tiger fans we had.
Those things could be easily corrected. It was nice to have the video replays today. It should be used for every game.
Umpires were not as good as they should have been. Erratic strike zone.

Only went to Sat. game and it was AWESOME! Got there a few hours early and sat right behind Tiger dugout. Food and drink were easily accessible - and plentiful. Funny thing I remember is the line for Men's restroom in 1 area was packed and another 100 feet was another restroom without anyone around. Weather was decent w no rain and the crowd was great. Lots of purple and gold for sure. Great venue for baseball.
