are you required to order tickets before the game??? the website makes it sound like you have to preorder? Can i just show up at the game and buy a ticket at the game?

haha, sorry, asking the same question 10 different ways, just wanna make sure I can get in when I make the 3 hour trip

trueblue,
there is a chance they could sell out the 'grandstand' area but there is plenty of room in the lawn area. They can't sell that out.

I don't think you are "required", but you never know. Union folks would probably know more.

interesting karma discussion. I am excited about this weekends game. I have been talking it up at work and I just get eye rolls. go bombers!

Here is an aerial shot of the field before the new grandstand was built but it is basically the same. In the lower right is the lawn area. The closer you are to the fraternity house the better the view due to the height and proximity to the 50 yard line.

Garnet, is there much parking near the field?

Garnet · November 18, 2005, 03:24:48 PM

In the picture above you can see a small lot (where I parked for the RPI game) across from the tennis courts in the upper left corner. The largest lot is out of the picture to the right. It is on the other side of the field house which is next to the rink. The rink is the round building just north of the field.

There is a small lot just out of the picture. It is just east of the rink.

If you get there early enough, you shouldn't have a problem finding a spot in one of the lots. There is always street parking in the neighborhood just east of the fraternity house in the lower part of the picture.

that looks like a nice field. I hope we see a bomber win there!

Here is a nice picture of the lawn area that Pat took last week.

check out Pat's photo gallery from last week.

I mean, do they usually get a crowd? I know some games get more than others.

gobombers · November 18, 2005, 04:32:20 PM

Will any Union students stay the weekend? Do they have off this week? Should we expect a 75-25 Bomber crowd?

Rolevio believes today was probably the last day of finals (or at least traditionally has been) so students will be gone already, however Rolevio would expect at least the same amount of local fans, maybe more if local media built it up as much as last week.

You bomber fans... you make such a big deal about the crowd!

Gro's old school, as long as Ma & Pa Gro were at the game it was all good (for anyone keeping score, they only missed ONE game in 4 years)
