I attended this bowl game with Old Dominion topping USF on Wednesday night at Camping World Stadium. I arrived about two hours before kick off. I found free parking aside the stadium on Church St. Otherwise, it would have been between $20 and $40. The ticket office on that side is closed. I walked to the other end zone and bought an end zone seat in row Q for $36 all in. That was the cheapest. They send a link to your phone. Like all bowl games now, the game was a glorified scrimmage. I left before the half. Maybe two thousand people there. I still don't know what Grogan does with all the tax revenue allocated to the stadium. It's still garbage. The don't even have a bar to rest your elbows between the seats. The endless commercial breaks also make these games unwatchable. I saw online that they offer a $35 package with food, etc. I should have chosen that. They played up the cancer angle of course. I can't help thinking when I hear the money that is being and has been donated purportedly looking for a cure, if they really are. Or is this another long con by academics looking for perpetual employment and big pharma and hospital looking for a perpetual treatment revenue stream. That said, if you are looking for the least demanding bowl game to attend, this may be the one.
* I have two restos and a Travel Notes to squeeze in in the coming week. Be on the look out for a barrage.
