East Lansing Roll Call

In

I'll be attending for tailgating/friendship purposes. Planning on being pretty hammered by game time. It sounds like you can't lose in your situation. Both of those sound enjoyable. I'd still probably go to the game if I was offered a free ticket, especially with friends and family. There's always the slight chance Michigan gives Sparty a scare.

to see friends, but I don't have a ticket. I'll be wearing my M sweater for sure though.

Much like OSU's stadium, I will never step foot into that cesspool.

and after each, promised myself I'd never go back, I am goint to try and keep that promise this time.

Really, the only fun moment in East Lansing is the moment you get to leave East Lansing.

The number of "Ann Arbor is a Whore" t-shirts and the drunk Sparties tossing Michigan fans into a bail of hay and pelting beer bottles at them.  I would love to go back, but I feel like dealing with those folks is a young mans game and I have too many kids and years under my belt to hang.

I'm also much much confident because I'll be in the stadium. It doesn't make any sense.

Enjoy the tailgate, enjoy the pregame, enjoy family and friends and watch til halftime.  

At that point, if you've had enough, walk about 10 minutes East to the MSU Dairy and get a huge ice cream cone.  Bask in the Fall colors surrounding you as you take in all the kids eating their cones with ice cream melting down their face.  Not too bad of a Saturday.

and have a good time!

Its a pretty crazed move to go to the game this year...God speed to anyone who dares

My brother-in-law and wife's uncle have tickets and a sweet tailgate and MSU, so we go every year it is in EL. this year, the uncle is giving the wife and me tickets to the game as well, so as much as I would prefer to sit at home drinking and get on with my weekend, I'll be stuck in EL all day Saturday, and hungover Sunday.

Went in 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009. Think I'm good on East Lansing for a long time. The visitors' section at the top of the upper deck is just about the worst imagineable place to watch a football game.

That being said, I kind of like their tailgating arrangement where everything is just spread across campus. The last time, we ended up at a friend's parents' tailgate inside a university parking garage, and it was still a blast because their band went by, the entire thing was a party. 

I'll be there with my husband and my father-in-law. First time for me, but they went last year. I told my husband that I wanted to go to as many games this year as possible to support Devin Gardner. The only ones we are missing are Northwestern and Rutgers. 

School aged cats should go, if they have not been. I went in 1999 and 2001 and, apart from Sharky's, hated almost everything about it...

Seriously though, I think it builds character to get into those type of environments.  Just keep your cool, remember it's just a game, and that you get to go back to Ann Arbor when it's all over. 

 

Safe travels to all of the brave Wolverines making the trip to EL.

Consider flying to Boston to catch the Michigan hockey team play Boston University.  Get a glimpse of the player who might be the NHL's top draft choice in 2015, a man who who was living in Ann Arbor last season as a member of the U. S. National Development Team, Jack Eichel.

When you leave that concrete shit hole there's a sign that says, never again.

Go. Hold your head high and act like a Michigan Man.  This would be insanely difficult for me to do, but I'm kind of an asshole.  But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm trying real hard.

Even back when I was a student I took the games too seriously to go to EL. I went one time and that was enough for a lifetime. Even though I have grown a little bit in my ability to deal with football frustrations over the years, there is no way I am man enough to go this year.
Any alum or fan that takes football seriously and braves the game this weekend seriously deserves some kind of medal.

It's supposed to be great weather and watching the debacle on TV won't be any better. As long you stay away from the tennis courts on Chestnut behind the Skandalaris football center and the student entrance on the southeast corner I've never seen a problem. I've had some students in the past in EL say some stupid things but I expect that as it happens in Ann Arbor too. Saw a few students make Sandusky comments to a group of PSU fans two weeks ago and they brushed it off pretty well despite the students persistance. 

If anyone else has though about StubHubbing it, try for the north endzone. For one it's concourse it brand new, the fans in those sections are pretty mild compared to the upper deck and students, the BBQ pork sandwich they have over there is solid and it's about as far from the students as possible.

I'll be there no idea where to park nothing anyone wanna pass along some tips

Tailgating with a buddy. Plan to get smashed. should be interesting.

baby seal bashing is not high on my list of activities, especially when i am rather fond of the baby seal...

Froze my ass off in the student section, ended up having quite a lot of fun actually.  Apart from a couple drunk sorority girls I encountered after the game, all the Sparties around me were rather nice.

Would totally go again this year were I not on the East Coast

I will be there with the men I lived with my senior year (2000)

I was dreading it and then I was like, fuck it lets win!

and now I am pumped again.

 

Given that I'm having trouble deciding if I even want to watch this particular snuff film on TV, I can't even imagine trying to see it live.

I'd go to the cabin if I were you.

I am going of course and will proudly sport the maize and blue. It's true that this season isn't the greatest but I can tell you now the kids on the team sure as hell haven't already accepted a defeat and I sure as hell will be there supporting my team as a good, loyal, and hopeful fan.
