Can I bring my camera to the Spring Game?

Submitted by BlueBarron on

I have a digital camera with a 300mm lens that I'd like to bring, but I don't know if they're doing the standard Big House rules where you can't bring anything in.

Can I bring my camera to the locker room tours/open field tours?

Can I bring my camera to the spring game itself?

I'm guessing no, but I'd just like to make sure. I'd be really bummed out if I missed this kind of opportunity.

While this thread is in the spirit of asking questions about the spring game, does anyone know if the game will be broadcasted anywhere online? If so, where?

yes, you can bring your camera to the spring game.  You may not, however, bring somebody else's camera to the spring game.*  Also, remember that if you want to bring your camera in the sideline sections, you must have a ticket for the camera as well.**

*This is completely false.

**This is also completely false.

Seriously, though...if it's anything like the past few years, you can bring pretty much any camera you want.  They haven't enforced the standard game restrictions for the spring game.

Also, I'll give you totally imaginary bonus points if you spot me at the game and take a photo.
