Question: A-Day 2010

[laughinggravy]

Could anybody give me a clue on which April Saturday that might fall on?

 

[theBIGyowski]

The past few years it has been the weekend after Tax Season is over...so the Saturday after April 15th. I only know this because one of my best friends is an accountant and his life after January revolves around April 15th.

So...Saturday in the middle of April.

Is it too soon to plan an A game trip?

Is it too soon to plan an A game trip?

OR perhaps another question: if Bama wins the big one on Jan. 7, is BDS full to capacity on A-Day again just like CNS first spring game?

Well that BamaMoon is anyone's guess, but I'm certainly going to be there to see for myself how full it gets.

And will they have the stadium expansion completed by A-Day to allow even more to see it?

I doubt it.

 

[RollTideMang]

I doubt it.

I haven't really read about the expansion at all. I remember watching a game this season and hearing something like "This time next year there will be over 100,000 fans watching". Have they given an ETA on the completion?

I think its going to be near capacity no matter what, for the QB battle alone.

You've got Greg McElroy returning (and of course should start), Star Jackson, AJ McCarron and Phillip Sims will be enrolling early and will be there for spring practice (I believe).

You've also got a lot of turnover on defense as well.

We have made it an annual event in our family.

Hello GATider, no its not so soon to plan for the 2010 A-Day game. We are 6 hrs away and its getting harder and harder to make plans when you work on the railroad and the trains run 7 days a week.:frown:

All they've said is "in time for the first game" which, given the progress compared to what I remember with the North, seems reasonable.

never to soon

[Mystical]

Plan to be there.

 

[bamaee04]

I think I read recently that the stadium expansion is on track to be finished sometime in July which is ahead of schedule. It should all be ready to go by kickoff of the first game in 2010. RTR!!

 

[okbama]

I'll be there. I can't wait to see the trophy case now.

 

[TidePhin]

We need to regain the A-Day attendance record. I believe Ohio State regained the spring game attendance record last spring

 

[Get 15]

Well I'll be bringing 5 to the game!:BigA:

I thought it was Blake Sims enrolling early. Not trying to argue, I hope you are right.

The expansion will not be complete at Bryant-Denny until this summer. We will have to wait til construction at Bryant-Denny is complete and the stadium seats 101,000+ before we can break the spring game attendance record and I don't know how that can happen until the spring game in 2011.

Ohio State currently has the spring game attendance record at 95,722.
