Some administrator or maintenance local yokel homer needs their rear chewed out.

I have to set the story up. Big rivalry. Visitors side was packed an hour before the game. Home team side shows up at kickoff. Home team vacates the place with 3 minutes left in the 4th.

After the game, the players prayed and both teams played their school songs. About 5-10 minutes goes by and Giddings fans are filtering out. There's only 1 exit at each end of the stands. I'm holding my sleeping 2 year old waiting for the crowd to subside to leave and Giddings side still has about 1000 fans trying to get out and OFF GO THE LIGHTS. Pitch dark, no back up lights and I'm at the top of the stands holding my sleeping 2 year old.

I thought about 10 seconds and decided to call 911. I told the guy its no emergency but could he have a cop go tell the homers to turn the lights back on for safety???

Some people just don't think, especially mad homers...

Yes, someone turned them on in a few minutes but Mercury vapor lights being hot took about another 10 minutes to actually "light" up.

Saving electricity...maybe school budget is running short?

I doubt that. The supt. they have there now will actually spend some of the money that the old one had bankrolled in the savings.

In there defense, I heard it was an accident and they fixed it as soon as they could. They actually came over to apologize. NO HARD FEELINGS.

We are glad no one was hurt.

I thought this was about Shawn Merriman being in La Grange :(

1000 fans at a Giddings game? Who do they think they are, Mini Burnet?
