STOP, YOU’LL GET THEM TOWED!!!!
No, Center Drive. Keep in mind the courtyard area sits significantly lower than the road too.
Have you seen how many people show up at Oregon/Oregon St when they've hosted? And the CGD broadcast starts at 6a PDT. For a first time hosting school, I'm betting fans come out in absolute droves. (See College Basketball Gameday here in 2015)
Site lines/back drop/etc. - If you've seen CGD once, you should have an idea how tall the set is. Cheerleaders have to be on one anothers shoulders to "photobomb" the broadcast, and even then it's usually only from the shoulders up. People have to attach their signs on huge [makeshift] poles to be seen. They'll be bringing in a huge camera crane to get those flyover shots of the crowd. I'm not worried about not getting a good beauty shot behind the "talent".
My one worry is that CGD isn't just the main set. They have a "mini-field" set up for Rinaldi and Wojciechowski to introduce their feature packages. There's also a possibilty ESPN Radio comes in, and they have their own separate set. (Obviously not as big) That's my (slight) worry.
Do the Carver auditoriums still have paper airplanes stuck in the ceiling like they did in the 90's?
So many brain cells have been killed at the bins, it would be a fitting place to put the hawkeyes fans.
Basement of Physics used to be cool - I remember a desk w/ a pile these wrist-watch looking devices to measure exposure to radioactivity and the biggest ashtray I've ever seen, overflowing w/ butts.
The immediate view is kind of a moot point, because during the show it will be nothing but people and signs. I would imagine the camera pans out to show Hilton and JT in the distance when filming, not a cracked up asphalt parking lot.
"yeah we're coming to your Shhit-tayyy"
Unlike when you guys play a non-scholarship or FCS team, we won't need luck against Rutgers.
