The last time there was a TV stage back in the FCS playoff days it was set up on Duck Pond Field, which we know is not there. I am thinking Sanford Mall, but they might have room between Duncan and New RankinBeauFoster wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 7:27 amHas to be in Sanford Mall, right? There’s really nowhere else to reasonably put them.

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
What about the Quinn Center parking lot? It kind of overlooks the stadium but not sure how much room would be needed.

How about Game Day on Miller hill? Fans on the field and in stands. might be the only place that can hold the Throng of humanity that I feel is going to show up. GD is going to be overwhelmed because Mountaineers show up early and stay late.

Not sure if this has been posted , but for all you guys that love to project APP into a New Year's 6
It doesn't hurt that all three of the assumed AAC contenders -- Houston, Cincinnati and UCF -- all have losses now. The Sun Belt can steal the New Year's Six spot.

Guest picker has to be Coach Moore. He's 83. Luke Combs, Daniel Jerimiah and Armanti will be around for another gameday.
Cremins would also be neat if not Coach Moore.

I don't know how it's not Coach Moore with Luke playing off to the side. They could throw Jeremiah on the stage with AE if that could be arranged. Let them all offer a cupcake to smart ass.

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
I'm sure one of you stat geeks can find this- what is the win percentage over the last 10 years or so for teams who hosted Game Day? I always think back to the Miami game when we had a pep rally and had all of the hoopla. I really expect the team to be focused but the outside noise worries me sometimes.

It's funny there's a Facebook group for tickets and everyone was unloading them for Troy - now everyone stepped away from the ledge and now " their plans have changed for the weekend

We need to keep supporting APP athletics no matter what - join the YC, help keep ALL coaches in every sports from leaving the mountain.

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
Yep just think how many people looked at the one UNC game and figured we have no defense and that we will get curb stomped in Texas which ultimately will lead to a 6-6 season so...I can't make it for the Troy game. Those are the same people who left the first game with 2:00 in the 3rd quarter only to rush back in with 4:00 left in the game. Love the fickle few.Appmountaineers19 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 7:41 amCan't have it there that's where the new SEZ seats are going.GreatAppSt wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 2:54 pmHow about Game Day on Miller hill?

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
So this is a fun fact. The company the does logistics for Gameday is owned by an App grad. So he has some local knowledge on the best set up.

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
I thought we had a no re-entrance policy in order to keep the losers who leave early out in games like the UNC one.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 8:08 amYep just think how many people looked at the one UNC game and figured we have no defense and that we will get curb stomped in Texas which ultimately will lead to a 6-6 season so...I can't make it for the Troy game.

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
I wonder if there's going to be a push to get recruits up to Boone for the Game Day broadcast? I know there were a lot for the UNC game, is there a limit to their visits?

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
I think I heard for the most part App is done with the class (that can change) but the biggest thing now is keeping them and this can't hurt. ESP can't come quick enough for G5 schools

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
King street in front of the app theatre would be the ideal spot but my gut is telling me Sanford mall. Which isn’t a bad spot either

Re: College Game Day Is Coming To BOONE!
Has Game Day ever come to a game and not put them on a normal TV network? ESPN+ for Game Day has to be a first.......
