Weird...The thread listing indicates that there was 1 reply to this thread, but I don't see it. Is there a bug in the MGoBoard software?

Your license plate makes me wish I had paid the 10 dollars a year to personalize my virginia plate

You could leave Yost and come back? Or are they just trying to stop people from leaving the game early and other people stubbing in on their tickets?
September 30th, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
Yes, you could. I took advantage of it the night Woodson won the Heisman. I lived across the street from Yost, and we had a hockey game that night. I went to the game for the first period, went home to watch the Heisman announcement, then went back to Yost for the third period, just in time to hear the Yost PA announcer give the good news. The whole place went nuts. One of my better college memories...
September 30th, 2010 at 10:12 PM ^
Yeah you could, it was awesome if you knew people who lived on State or McKinley (?) close to the stadium. We used to go have a few beers between periods.
September 30th, 2010 at 9:33 PM ^
In the past season I could come to the game late right around the third period and walk right on in with no ushers at the doors.
They can take my outside burrito from the BTB from my cold dead hands.
September 30th, 2010 at 10:02 PM ^
It's part of my game day experience to bring BTB into Yost as well. Never had a problem before and I don't think I will this year either. The statement didn't say, "NEW" at the beginning of the paragraph about food, so it'll probably be overlooked by ushers.
September 30th, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
I am hoping I can continue to walk right in with my backpack too. I work late often in my research lab on campus. I don't want to leave my backpack in my lab.
September 30th, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
they can have it -- NOT!

there's handicapped parking at Yost. $5 is pretty cheap, too. I'll have to use that next time I go to a game.
