The mystique of Omaha is shattered

Well, we are 2 hours south of Omaha, and thins are not boding well.  We have received word that due to anticipated large crowds, the CWS experience will be much different than ever before. 

For the first time ever, they are telling folks that to try to buy a reserved seat, you have to get in line at midnight the night before the game, and stay there all night.  Then, with a numbered wristband, you get to go stand in another line at 8 AM on game day and hope you can get to the front of the line while they still have tickets available.  And the CWS folks make no promises that you will get a ticket even  if you stay all night.

Same thing with General Admission tickets.  You can line up at midnight if you already have GA tickets, and then you can stay there until the first game.  Again, if they hit max capacity before the game, sorry...thanks for playing.  We have a nice big screen tv in the parking lot you can watch things on.

And speaking of parking lots, they are putting the screws to tailgaters as well.  They have a perimeter.  If you have a parking pass, you may set up your tent.  BUT you must keep your cooler by your car, and everything must be struck after the game, and can not be set up before 8 AM the following morning.

Not sure how this will affect the outcome of the CWS, but will really be a bummer for all the festivities.

More info when I get it.
