There’s no sugarcoating this one; that last game against Tulane was quite the letdown, and it truly took the wind out of the sails of the Wildcats this season. At least coming into this Big Ten opener versus the Oregon Ducks, who, let’s face it, have surprised a lot of people in the first two weeks. Why then would you want to come out to Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium for this one if the Wildcats’ win is such a long shot?
They’re keeping this game on campus for starters, and that could help the team, especially if the student section gets wild to make it tough on the Oregon offense. Plus, are you going to miss one of the last opportunities to tailgate before a Wildcat game with decent weather? Hit that “Get Tickets” button to make sure you’re here to be a part of this one.
The Tailgate Experience at a Wildcats Game
It’s a bit of a surprise that the university didn’t take the game to Wrigley Field, probably a scheduling issue with the Cubs. This is certainly a matchup that’s bound to draw a big crowd. It could be a great thing for the tailgate experience. You get to be on campus with the student body going nuts before the game. It’s a wild scene that you’re going to want to be a part of, so make sure to arrive early and ideally do so via a rideshare app or public transport. That eliminates the need for a designated driver! You’ll find tents with drinks, food, and all the works to make sure that you can enter the stadium and find your seats hot and ready for the game to start.
Finding the Best Seats at Lanny and Sharon Martin Stadium
If you want to have the best views of the game, those are on the east side of the field, where there are smaller stands. It’s almost like a VIP personal experience that’s reserved for those who truly want to analyze the action on the field. At the time of writing, seats on this side of the field are limited, so you want to be quick about getting yours. On the other side, you have more of the party atmosphere with equally open views of the field. The west side seats could be ideal if you’re looking for the best of both worlds. Meanwhile, sitting in either end zone could provide the budget option. You might not have the best views, but you’re in on the fun, and you didn’t break the bank to get there.
Final Tips To Get the Most Out of Gameday
Make sure you rise early, get a good breakfast, and head to the stadium at least around 10 or 10:30. That’s going to allow you to take in the pre-game experience. If you’re rushing to find your seats, you won’t be able to truly relax and take everything in. Speaking of your seats, hit this link or the “Get Tickets” button; they’re running out!
