When we arrived, we were luck enough
to get to park in the "Parent Lot"! It was less than 5 minute walk to
the Stadium. I was impressed with the level of drinking and partying
going on! It wasn't a bunch of crazy or stupid drunks around (like I have seen at
Browns games), but just people having fun and drinking heavily. We
didn't bring anything to drink but I figured I would have a few beers at
the game...until I found out that the stadium was 'dry'! Heck, there
were people all around carrying a 12-pack in one hand and the other elbow busy emptying
them just next to the entrance. Then I understood why... |

To say we had 'nose-bleed' seats would be an inaccurate
statement; our row just below the upper nose bleed section...lol.. I
thought with our seat number being #1 & 2, we would be next to the isle ..
but no. It meant that my shoulder was against the outer stadium wall!
In spite of the our seat location, the view was still pretty good.
From our seat looking over the wall (see pictures above), we could see a sea
of WVU yellow and over a mile river of people walking to the stadium.
Wow! |

We got there in plenty of time to see
the pre-game show. Just by happen-stance, Ben was the 4th person out
of the 'tunnel' for the run-on deployment of the Marching Band |
