If the athletic department is serious about being full at KO

[Colt house75]

thinking the same thing as I was walking the 1 1/4 miles. except we did it 3 times because half-way to the stadium, realized I left the tickets in the car.

At least
1)you didn't leave them at home or
2)as someone in our group did....mistakenly sold an envelope of tickets not realizing
his own tickets ( and mine) were in the envelope. it was like one of those WTF moments!!!
Luckily the game was not sold out and we were able to easily dadada!!!

I did that in college once. Went to a Def Leppard concert at the XL with my girlfriend and realized as I got onto I-384 in Bolton that my tickets were still in my dorm room in Storrs, argh!

The way Storrs is packed in now by buildings and where stuff is, there really would be no way possible to do a stadium on or near campus anymore anyway. That ship has sailed!

Penn St has a larger stadium (107K v 40K), has a larger campus (45K v 18K), and is located in a larger town (41K v 25K) and they still get it done.

They should offer hayrides to the seats for the October games.

They also grew around the stadium.

His point was in reference to how far the walk to the stadium would be if moved on campus as opposed to current walk from general admission parking. Some of those lots @ Happy Valley are a serious hike.

I think we have it pretty good.

Haha... Ok. You're right, there could be some moving around of stuff, and there's plenty of farmland/fields surrounding campus to build on, but I'm just saying really in the "heart" of campus.

I hear walking is good for you.
