We had an SEC fan-like presence at the Camping World Bowl, let's keep this momentum going.

Obviously if you have some legitimate reason that you can't go next weekend (e.g. health reasons, you're coaching your kids sport, etc.) this doesn't apply to you. I know what you may be thinking, "Eric you douche, this is easy for you to say since you live 30 minutes from College Park." Here is my reasoning why I think SU fans should treat this as an all-hands-on-deck away game pilgrimage:

-Hotel rooms are affordable and plentiful. This isn't a small college town where hotels sell out months in advance. There are a limitless supply of low-cost hotel rooms in the DMV.
-Tickets are extremely affordable. You can sit in the upper deck for $18 on Stubhub.
-DC area is very easy to get to from the entire Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
-There will be thousands of SU fans in attendance.
-It's a Noon game and Maryland fans honestly don't care all that much, so unlike NFL games this is a totally friendly atmosphere to bring kids.
-There is tons of fun things to do in DC (restaurants, museums, monuments, etc etc) with which to parlay this trip.

So if you haven't considered going next weekend for no reason in particular, just make it happen. I want our orange in this stadium to look like Tennessee fans in the Dome in 1998.

Would love to be there but a wedding has tied me up, but don’t think I haven’t thought about ditching the wedding to go to the game instead!

Well is it your wedding? ;) And if not, why are you friends with people who broke the no weddings during college football or basketball seasons rule?

What mileage radius are you talking?
 
Oh, I have one more reason to add to the list. The weather as of right now is a high of 79 and sunny.

We play in a Dome. How many times in your life have you had the opportunity to watch SU football in outdoor gorgeous weather?
 
The road schedule this year is really unfavorable for road trips for me. I wish these games were later in the season. Pretty tough swing after traveling a bunch this summer and having to do a work trip to Boston the following Monday. It’s too bad this game wasn’t Columbus Day weekend instead of NC State.
 
Bought 4 tix for UM game. 3rd deck. 2 on the 50. 2 on the 30. $11 each.

Flying in from the West Coast and staying in DC near Capital w/son and have a buddy driving down from Cuse.

Even scored White House Tix where I’ll be sporting SU’s colors which, oddly enough, match our President.

Where exactly is the definitive Orange tailgate to visit?

Psyched for Psyracuse.

BTW, let’s not forget Clemson plays Texas A&M the week before coming into the Dome. Could be beaten up a little. Might have to play their 4 Stars instead of their 5 Stars.
 
If I can get 4 cheap tickets I’ll probably make the trip, just got back to central ny from Lynchburg, next weekend I’ll have to bring my to young daughters to make the trip 6,4. So I don’t want to spend much on tickets.
 
How many fans is cuse expecting to travel?
 
Not attending. Have spent hundreds on hotel, travel and STH package for the Clemson game. That's not counting my transportation in the city as I shuttle between campus and my hotel out in North Syracuse.

There are tickets on the Gametime app. That’s where I got mine for 11 bucks on the 50. Prices have ratcheted up a bit but they’re still cheap.

 
Have u ever used that app before, I have never heard of that one?
Regularly. As I mentioned in another post, I have four tickets for this game electronically stored on my phone totaling $44. I can send them to individuals if I need to, print them out or just allow them to reside on my iPhone and present them at the game.

I wouldn’t agree with this in ANY way. Attended the SU game at UM in 2013. I have attended a many away games since 1977 and the only bigger d-bags that I have run across were at UCONN. We had UM fans throw stuff at our car, insult us, swear at us, etc. The place is a major traffic PIA getting to the stadium, which by the way was a dump. No thank you.
