In the pre 9-11 days, we would bring our own lunch with us and eat at half time. Coolers, drinks, etc.
Now, if we have time, we eat the meal after securing the good parking place and then enter the stadium. Costs a lot less. Still, I've never had a problem getting a meal before the game. I guess it is just that we make it a point to get there early.
However, all this talk avoids the real problem. It is too DANG long until September!!!
Go Cougs!!!
