And where is all this fun going to take place? Marshall Street has one somewhat legit restaurant (Faegan's), a handful of shitty college bars and some fast food joints (and of course the Varsity, which is a lunch counter / pizza shop). Down in Armory Square, if you want to go to a football game, all the places are closed on Saturday morning. There is no pregame down there, all the places are closed until after the game. You can't tailgate at South Campus, because the time it takes for the shuttle bus is too damn long, and Comstock Ave is a 2 lane street.
 
The walk from Manley (where there are very few parking spaces remaining after all the expansion and upgrades) is a mile and a quarter - not too bad, but you can't walk that in less than about 15-20 minutes, especially if you are bringing kids with you. And the South Campus parking lots are just too far to consider walking. They're trying to create a fun atmosphere on the Quad before the game, but there's still the parking problem.
 
I realize this sounds kind of whiny, but you know, other schools are much smarter about how they do these things. They have actual parking lots for their customers, which is where most of the tailgating takes place.  Maybe they will take that into account when they finally build a new stadium out on South Campus or near Drumlins.
