Perhaps bowing to tradition and customer service, Lebanon High School will offering reserved tickets for the 2012 football season at Watkins Stadium / Tribble Field after all. Several sections of chairback bench seating in the middle of the home side are now designated as reserved and will be available for $50 per ticket.

The decision to sell reserved season tickets was passed down from the Central Office Monday, July 30 -- reversing an earlier plan that would have made all seating in the facility general admission.

“There’s a pretty good number of fans who come early and tailgate,” said longtime LHS season ticket holder David Greer. “It’s good to know we’ll be able to socialize before the game and still have our seats waiting for us.”

Effective Tuesday, July 31 reserved seating, a $30 general admission season pass, as well as a new feature -- $25 reserved parking -- was on sale on a first come, first served basis. A discount package is available for fans who choose to buy both a reserved season ticket and a parking pass.

Lebanon’s home-opener is Friday, Aug. 24 against Franklin County -- the inaugural game at the new stadium. Other home opponents include: Wilson Central, Station Camp, Beech (homecoming, Oct. 19) and Hendersonville.

Tickets and parking passes will remain on sale between the hours of from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. For information, call Cindy Climer at 444-9610, ext. 3203.
