Friday night's Divison 2 football game between Menomonie and Lakeland had the T-Birds listed as the home team, but it sure didn't feel like a home game to them.
The contest was originally scheduled to be played in Minocqua, since Lakeland had hosted fewer playoff games than the Indians.
However, according to Lakeland coach Don Scharbarth, Menomonie claimed to have between 2,500 and 3,000 fans attending the contest and got the WIAA to change the venue to Thom Field in Wausau. Though the sting of defeat was still fresh, Scharbarth was clearly unhappy with the situation following the game.
"You saw by the size of the crowd tonight they only brought about 1,200 people," Scharbarth said. "They pulled a fast one and got away with it and got the game moved to Wausau."
