Anyone going to the open scrimmage on Saturday?

I hope to be able to go, but I may have to work.

Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the opportunity. It is taking place at Woodward Academy in College Park at noon. Doors open at 11:30.

I might try and make it out there.....I went to the thing last year at Phillips (it was right before a Falcons game) and got autographs and watch the team.......it's a really good experience.....

I will be there with my 3 boys. I go every year. It is fun for the kids to see the players up close and personal. Plus I get new hawks penants with autographs for my hawks room.

hi there. i am new to hawksquawk.

so, you said you and your sons go every year?

what is it like. i mean...do you stand up in the stands of a high school basketball arena with 100's or 1000's of other fans and watch them practice or is it more intimate in the sense that you just stand on the sidelines with maybe 100 other fans and watch them practice (which would be the coolest)?

just curious. have a great day, man.

Well it is defenantly more than 100 people I would say a couple of hundred people. I have never had to stand up. They have a scrimmage. Game like setting. Then they go back take a shower and come back and sign autograpghs. Latley I guess more people are comming but they started doing this table thing. Where certing players are at certain tables. You choose which table you go to and get those autographs. Like you may get Smooth with ZaZa then Harry the hawk. I like the old way where you go to the players that you want. They usualy give away like penants to get autographs on or maybe a poster with the whole team on it. I usualy get there pretty late not sure what they do before the game. But I have 12 year olds and they like it so I go every year.
