This time, they want you to sneak in the back way.
Well, “sneak” might not be the operative word, but definitely go around to the back and tell ’em David sent you.
With the long-anticipated installation of new bleachers at Coupeville High School’s football field finally a go, spectators at events this week won’t be able to use the elementary school entrance.
Instead, you need to park at the baseball field parking lot, which sits right behind the football field on Terry Road.
Then walk yourself straight forward past the diamond and enter the football/soccer field through the normally closed-off back entrance.
The temporary change affects three games this week, one of which will have ticket-sellers camped out at that back entrance.
CHS girls soccer hosts Sequim Tuesday (4:00) and CMS football welcomes Port Townsend to town Wednesday (3:45), before the week is capped with Coupeville’s Homecoming football game (7:00) against Bellevue Christian.
Of the three, fans are charged admission at only the last event.
With varsity football games at home the following two weeks — Oct. 20 vs. Klahowya and Oct. 27 vs. Chimacum — the possibility Wolf fans will experience new stands this season (after just a two-year wait) has taken a giant leap forward.
