Game Day Plans...

[ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net]

Hey all. I'm taking a few minutes from my ranting about yesterday's loss to check in regarding plans for next weekend. Four of us have parking spots in lot 4, but I'd like to hear what other fans are thinking before we decide how to plan our day. In no particular order:1) Pre-game grub and beverages. Are you tailgating in one of the lots around the stadium or are you planning to shuttle downtown/zipstrip (aka crack haven) for pre-game sustenance? I suppose one could park downtown and shuttle it to the stadium, or the other way around, and we're not sure which way to go yet. OBC is apparently planning a beer garden with basic grub at Katherine Place, but I'm not sure what else will be happening on the street in the area.2) Pre-game events. Is the band going to march through campus? What time? Any other pre-game rituals that you're planning on checking out? Perhaps a human sacrifice involving a K.S.U. or OSWHO player or fan? 3) Anyone know how early the gates will open? I'd like to spend some time, if the weather is good, checking out the place, walk the entire stadium, check out concessions, etc.That's all for now. Any event knowledge, concessions, tailgating info that you have dialed in would be very helpful to all of us, since most would agree that we don't really yet know what to expect from a genuine, on campus UA football game.GO ZIPS!STZ

I do know the band will be marching through campus. I have no idea when they will do it though.

Overall, I've had to scale things back a bit. I plan on parking in lot 34, West of the Computer Building and arriving at 9:00. I was originally planning on arriving at 7:00 but I would be insane to put my little kids through that! I'll be doing my stadard fare, brats, chips, and some beverages with a little music. Expect some friends to show up and we'll just take it easy. Before the kids I just kept making thing more elaborate, but now I just want to kick back and take it easy with minimal hassle! I plan on packing up around 12:30 and to be in route for the stadium via Buchtel Commons by 1:00. I don't want to miss ANYTHING in the stadium. That's about it. I hope I can get a spot because I know a LOT of folks will be there before 9:00.

I'll be on campus early that morning.I'll probably stop by and cheer on the volleyball team at 11:00 and when that's over I'll head to the stadium.

I might just pitch a tent on coleman commons the night before. No cheap jokes zipmiester
