Home of the Mythical Unicorn - New Braunfels, Texas

It’s Friday night and the Winston Churchill Chargers came to the home of the New Braunfels Unicorns. The first thing I noticed on arriving at the stadium was the terrible parking situation. They do provide a shuttle service from a nearby church parking lot but it is still bad. The parking for the buses is very tight. The second thing that I noticed is that both bands had 18 wheelers to haul all their junk from event to event. That’s nice but it adds to the parking problem at Unicorn Stadium. Did I say that parking was bad…?

Other than that, the stadium was a pretty nice place to watch a game. The crowd was a respectable estimated 5,000 fans. The game opened with recognizing Unicorn players for coaching a flag football league in the community. The flag football players were on the sidelines with their suited up coaches. The school songs were played, the national anthem was sung by all in the stands and we were ready for the kick-off. Then I realized that I never saw the unicorns do any warm-up drills. Did I miss it? I don’t think so, I get to the game very early.

The game did not go well for the Chargers so I did something I seldom do. I had arrived early so I was park deep in the bowels of the New Braunfels High School campus. I didn’t know how long it would take to get out of this parking quagmire; the score was mounting up against the Chargers so I left early.

Final score? Unicorns 23 – Chargers 0

Did I mention that the parking was bad?
