Are you ready for the start of the home football season Saturday? Here are a few things you might want to think about, including traffic, tailgating, and more -- and don't miss a couple of promotions listed at the bottom of this post ...
NEED TICKETS? WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME BEFORE THE GAME? The Nest is the place to be! The Nest is located just outside the Doyt on its southwest corner ... it's just off the sidewalk that the team will follow on its walk from the Stroh Center to the Doyt. Admission is free, and there's a live band! If you're hungry and need a game ticket, $20 will get you a meal and a ticket to the contest. Alcohol also is available for purchase there. Click here to find out more about The Nest.
TRAFFIC: Please notice that there was a change in traffic on Wooster Street last year that will continue this year ... in short, Alumni Drive (the first road leading to the Doyt if you're coming off I-75) is closed. Traffic will instead proceed to Mercer Drive and turn north onto Mercer, then merge onto Alumni Drive. Don't believe me?
