Went to the BG game and watched from the Falcon Club Party deck in the north endzone. Pretty sweet setup. If you're a Falcon Club member and give $250 you have access along with other benefits. Beer at $3 and wine at $4. Guests are $15 for one and $25 for a group and if it rains, you can watch from inside.

Walked around the entire outside of the stadium. Because of the construction of the facility, the "concourses" are very wide and open which makes it easy to buy tickets - multiple locations - and access a wide variety of concessions including beer.

During the game, it seemed like the band played between before/after every play and there was little to no piped in music. Maybe because it was something different but it sure seemed like a bigger time atmosphere.

They also had tickets at multiple prices starting at $8.00.

And one last thing. The Falcon Club sells split the pot tickets. Two people walk around - one with a money bag and one with an electronic device. You buy the tickets - I bought $10 and got 16 "tickets" - and the guy with the device pushed a button which spit out a piece of paper like a grocery ticket with my randomly chosen numbers. The system they use is called Electronic Raffle System pointstreak5050.com It was real slick. The draw the number between the third and fourth quarters and post it on the scoreboard screen. Sure wish the Green and White Club had this back in the day.

I always enjoy going to BG for games. Usually not a good result for Ohio but I agree with your points above. Well said.

And one last thing, for those who want to buy one, they sell beer at the concessions to anyone of legal age which can be consumed in the stadium seats while you watch the game. $6.50 was the going price.

I hate that campus, but as a visitor for a football or basketball game, it's ideal. I-75 exit. Oodles of parking. Cheap tickets.

That electronic raffle ticket was really cool.

And Insomnia Cookies gave our tailgate an entire box of warm chocolate chip cookies.

So...no complaints about BG from me.
