Well, can't speak for all schools, everywhere, but I can flatly state that the HS school I attended back IN THE '70's in Ohio, and all of the HS's our kids were involved with in NJ, ALL charged for: 1) their sporting events, 2) their Sr. Class Spring Play, 3) All-class Xmas Play/Concert, 4) And in most cases, parking for 1-3. So not sure why this event at the new facility is such a big deal, other than - it's at the new facility that some people don't like/didn't want. Now, for things like Graduation, yes, the kids each got 4-6 tickets for "up front" or floor seating. Everyone else was in the cheap seats. But that was the only case like that.

I wonder......if this event had been held at the former Katie Belle's (pre-renovation), and charged a similar fee......would there be such an outcry?? Hmmm.......just wondering.......
