while I think some of the pre-game activities are cool, I'm just not that into spending that much time "hanging out" before a game.
I went to the Ole Miss game and the Grotto was an amazing sight. Just one big party. But I was bored/ready for the game to start after about 30 minutes of walking around. Same with Notre Dame. There were some cool pre-game activities and things to see but I got bored/anxious for the game after a short time. I can't imagine doing that every week, every year.
I'd rather just go to a nice restaurant and have a nice meal, go to the game, and then go home. The rest is okay but just not that interesting to me.
