Pirate I did not really have any problems. The advice you gave me was good, but where I was parked I would have had to cross the lane of traffic that was backed up. It was easier to just get in traffic. I only waited 15-20 minutes.
My rule at the end of the third quarter was that I was going to leave as soon as 11:00 rolled off in the 4th. As luck would have it, Arkansas made it 42-7 at 10:59, and that's when many of their fans decided to leave
, so I didn't catch that much of a break by leaving early.
I parked just west of the baseball field you mentioned...about as close to I-540 as you can get. Speaking of I-540, man that was a pretty ride up. If I had not been driving I could have enjoyed the scenery even more. The Ozarks are beautiful this time of year. There were many large (and I assume expensive) overpasses of gorges and canyons....man can football pay for some shizzle, lol.
Midtn, Pirate informed me you were in the stadium and I wanted to IM you and find out where you were so I could say hello, but I could not get on VTTW in the stadium, which is typical. Hope you enjoyed the trip in spite of the outcome.
I decided to go at 10:30 pm on Friday night
I have a bucket list to visit every SEC stadium at least once. It occured to me that with the expansion, we may not return to Fayetteville for 10 years, depending on how they do the schedule. So off I went. 1000+ miles of driving in two days.
I enjoyed the trip, just not the outcome. Anyone attending this game in person, did their duty as fans, that's for sure!
I did definitely enjoy seeing Fayetteville and seeing the stadium and meeting some of their fans. They were polite and cocky at the same time, but really pretty nice overall. It was a good trip in everything but the scoreboard.
