Title: Florida State @ North Carolina
Post by: USA4ME on October 22, 2009, 09:05:09 AM
It's tonights Thursday night college football game and I'll be leaving town around noon to go to it with my son.  We have tickets on the visitors side, Row 25, somewhere between the 35 and 40 yard line.  I'll wave at you if they put the camera on me.

This game actually looked more exciting a month ago, but it still might turn out OK.  Then again, it could be the Bobby Bowden farewell tour.

The biggest story on this game is that the UNC campus is freaking out.  This is their first Thursday night football game ever, the stadium is right in the middle of campus, and if you've never been on the UNC campus the parking there is somewhere between few-and-far-between and none.  So they've got 60,000+ people coming to a game while also trying to keep the way clear for off-campus students taking night classes, and they have a lot of off campus students.  Of course they've had basketball games there on Thursday nights before, but the Dean Dome only sits 22,000.  They've got triple that on the way tonight.  Needless to say, I'm getting there early, parking offsite, and taking in the shuttle bus.

Boy, talk about a game of two separate halves.  It was a fun time, though.

Oh.

I hadn't been paying attention to college football this week, being snowed in and all that, the mind on other things.

Cool.  :cheersmate:

Nothing quite like being at a live football game. College or NFL are each great events in the sport where every single game matters.

That's not a dig at other sports btw. I've admitted here I'm no fan of baseball, however... I've always had a good time at a live baseball game and do follow the playoffs to root for Seattle/Cincinnati (when applicable, sigh) or at least root against the Yankees. (always applicable)

Except I wouldn't want to be at West Point right now watching Rutgers and Army in the rain.  :-)
