The game today is scheduled for 2? Why? To accommodate the monster truck show at 7. Who the hell cares about monster trucks on Senior night?! Thanks Bob, because of my work schedule I will not be able to attend--great job moving the game to 2!!
Sounds like a Seinfeld episode. You should have just quit on Friday and then go back on Monday like nothing happened.Originally posted by Miners Fight:
easy solution, Nugget.
quit your job on Friday. go to game Saturday.
go back to work Monday and tell the boss you were hasty and apologize.
Yes, both times pissed me off. The game against Memphis a few years ago and then a couple years ago again.Originally posted by allminer:
The last time the truck show and game played at the same time it was a traffic nightmare. I see this as people's safety over money quite frankly.

Traffic was very light in the Rudolph lot. Nothing bad at all.Originally posted by Ronstr300:
Even though the game was at 2, traffic was a mess. Who tailgates for the monster trucks? geez
What time did you get to the game? I got there about 1:40 and there were a bunch of spaces available.Originally posted by kappasigmaminer:
I was pissed that they let them into tailgate and take up all the season tkt holder spots in P-9. We actually pay to park and to really struggled to get a spot because of the monster trucks was annoying. In the past they were better about it being for bball only.
Four years later Monster Jam in El Paso has gotten so enormous they now have two events, one on Saturday and 1 on Sunday.
I worked an event at the Don Haskins Center 2 years ago the same day as Monster Jam. It was the worst traffic I have ever seen in the area and it took forever to get from campus to downtown. Now I see why they will never schedule games at the same time as Monster Jam. Sadly it would not surprise me if Monster Jam sells more tickets for a single event than our football team does all season combined

I’ve never been to Monster Jam but I’ve passed by UTEP when it’s happening and the parking looks awful. Vehicles were parked anywhere they could, even if it meant driving over sidewalks and parking on the rocks overlooking the freeway. I don’t think UTEP has ever come close to that sort of mayhem even when they were winning.
You all remember when El Paso Chihuahua tried getting kappasigmaminer fired? Haven’t heard from either one anymore.
