"Scrimmage" not worth the hassle

I was at the Chiefs/Vikings practice last night and from a fan's perspective, this event is really more trouble than it's worth. 

First, they advertise this as a scrimmage, which implies that it will be an 11 on 11 football game.  In reality, although they do go 11 on 11 later in the practice, much of the event is normal drills that you would see in practice....just involving members of another team on the other side of the ball and a much more crowded environment.

Also, they announced that tickets would go on sale at 4 pm, implying that there were a limited number available.  Judging from the crowd at Ramer Field, I doubt there was a finite number of tickets...they just kept selling them as long as people would buy (The tickets were the red "raffle" type that come in big rolls and can be purchased at Wal-Mart).  It would make sense to sell tickets based upon how much room there was in the bleachers.  There were way more people there than could possibly fit into the stands at UWRF.  I got in fairly early but I'm sure there were plenty of people expecting to get an actual seat and watch a semi-football game who were disappointed to be standing behind the endzone trying to see.

Factoring in the $10 ticket, $5 parking fee and the amount of time it took to get out of the parking lot....I was hoping for something closer resembling a football game.  I'm sure UWRF made a lot of money from both Chiefs and Vikings fans at this event and I'm all for that.....but I maintain that this could have been handled better.
