Stopped by Rice to buy tickets for this afternoon
I was cycling in the area and went up to Reckling about 10:20. The teams were walking in. Everything was wide open. Except the ticket office. I found a guy setting up tents for something. I asked him when they open. He thought for a while and said with a 1:00 start it might be about 11:15 or so. It almost certainly is not an oddity, but it felt odd that there was no one there to sell tickets less than three hours before game time.

Did you get your tickets? I can hook you up as long as you don't mind wearing silly hats on national TV.
No ticket yet. We'll walk up after lunch. How silly are we talkin'?

If you have to ask....
BTW, 13th, if the Foxes have arrived, do we have to wear them during the entire time Blake is pitching?

RE: Stopped by Rice to buy tickets for this afternoon
Loki, just exchanged texts with 13th. You're welcome to up to 4 tickets in Row 3 of Section F, if you'd like them. The only catch is that 13th will not be able to get them to Will Call until 12:30-ish. If interested, call me on my cell at (917) 282-1359.

the hats scared you off did they? either that or having to sit with Walt.
I also wanted to inflate our attendance numbers.
