Football preseason

[UAalum72]

First practice was today.

 

Football Media Day is tomorrow at noon.

 

Wyland said on his radio show that they are working out the details for a Coach's Show which probably will be on MY-4, channel 13's alternate channel from Pittsfield http://wnyt.com/article/12663/ (WNYA channel 51), I don't know if this, or its highlights, will be online for out-of-market viewing.

Tickets arrived in today's mail!

 

This year the packet includes tailgating rules and a visitors' guide, which will be helpful for first-timers.

Max 10x10 tents...I know someone who is a major tailgater is not going to be happy with that. And no umbrella's inside..that's weird. Most major league venues allow umbrellas. However it's good to see them set rules like a real venue.

The tent rule was in effect last year, but it wasn't well-known and apparently wasn't enforced.

 

Delaware, among others, doesn't allow umbrellas either.

It can be a real pain in the ass with an umbrella in the face blocking one's view..

I support the rule

[DanesRGood]

I've been to a lot of sporting events, including having season tickets to NY Giants and I've never seen an umbrella opened at a seat. that would be ridiculous.

The way construction of the Purple Path is going, there might not be room for those big tents there anyway. Or maybe the rule only applies in the parking lot and not on the surrounding grassy areas.

Pretty common at baseball games.

This...as a fellow spectator...I APPROVE!

Yes, but if umbrellas are up for very long at a baseball game, they stop playing.
