    Not when you have a three hour drive.
    I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.

    Or like to tailgate for more than 2 hours.

    I hate 7pm kickoffs. Too hard for families. Easier to find sitters for 11am games.

    So... Are you saying Science was meant to be played on Thursday nights or that it's scientifically proven that CFB wasn't meant to be played on Thursday nights?

    Re: Parking

    I'm assuming the overnight RV parking at Vet Med is open like it usually is for non-RV parking paying folks. At least last year no one kicked us out when we were the only ones parked there before the lots opened for the Thursday night game. Friday nights before a Saturday game there usually are several parked there which is pretty fun. Yes we are cheap, minmum $500 NCC donation plus whever the RV pass costs is too much for our low budget operation when we can pay $30 a game for $180 on the season in the general public lots. The $500 donation alone is about 1/4 what our RV is worth plus gas isn't as cheap as it was this time last year. I remember filling up for around $2.65ish last year!

    Re: Parking

    The only nice thing about 11 am games is being able to tailgate longer than an hour after the game. We always sit and wait for the crowds to disperse for an hour or so and have some more brews and listen to the post game or listen to the Hawks game.
