If they want to bet that is good news.

Indeed. But their egos are so fragile up there......I really worry about them sometimes.

i don't think the beer garden was there in 1980!

The beer garden was an early 90s attempt at budget enhancement. Little known fact: Jimi Hendrix played Devonshire Downs in '69 in front of over 50,000 people! Had to be the crowning moment for that dump. Other performers included Joe Cocker, Jethro Tull, Ike & Tina Turner, Three Dog Night, etc. Newport Jazz Festival, guessing the cig manufacturer was the title sponsor? Fitting

Now that was some amazing music!

LOL.

funny you mention they - I happened across a poster of that event while looking for a picture of the ‘stadium’ earlier today

3 day ticket for $15? I know where I would have been that weekend!

Wow, now that brings back some memories! What a fantastic 3 day line for only $15. I'd be there right along with Oldbanduhalum!

Jimi, Cocker, Ike & Tina, CCR, Steppenwolf, Tull, The Rascals, The Chambers Bros., Marvin Gaye, Three Dog Night, The Byrds and a ton of other great ones, that is a nuts line up.

2 days away! It's going to feel like a looooong 2 days though. GO AGS!

Wasn’t sure I was going to make it. I was out of town, but I rearranged a couple of things and bought tickets. See you Saturday, Aggie Finn!

Looks like they've sold a handful more tickets, but 2 days out still looking like a largely empty stadium. Not a good look.

You don't understand! People in Portland LOVE driving to Hillsboro and sitting in a municipal multiuse stadium where you can see baseball diamond on the other side of the field! Don't listen to the Aggie propaganda!

Let's Go! SochorField if battling a car issue, but he was thinking of driving up, we'll see - outlook doesn't look great. My Dad and I will be at the get together tomorrow (Friday) at 5 at Steeplejack, and we'll definitely be showing up early to the game - is there an Aggie get together or tailgate directly before the game?

I'll be in Portland but taking my kid for a long hike instead of schlepping out to Hillsboro for the game in an empty high school stadium. I gave him one last chance to decide if he really wants to go to the game but he said he prefers the hike and then watching on tv.

right, yes... My bad lol

Be sure to turn on ESPN at 7:00 pm to watch the Cal Poly/Idaho game.

We'll be watching

....I'm in!

Word on the street is that the Vandals' QB is a pain in the ass livewire with his feet. Transfer from Fresno State. I like the CP Linebackers though, should be an interesting matchup

If we're talking about Joshua Wood - I think he has been in the Udaho program for two full seasons. He played in 10 games last year and had about 2500 yds in total offense.

Sounds like the guy

doesn’t look like any pregame at Portland, only the Friday night get-together.

CAA seems more active promoting pregame and tickets for the early games this year.

There will be pre-game festivities I'm sure if you wander the parking lot, probably starting around 0900 or 1000. If there is a specific lot designated for the visiting team, I would start there from past experience. I've wandered many a parking lot in my time, made a few friends, and enjoyed some good conversation without any plans. Sort of my life strategy :rofl:

It's just tough on the culture when your team has been losing so much - fan turnout and tailgate turnout suffers!

Somehow we stuck with it during the Gould era. Those were tough times.

truly befuddling

Their dry spell has been a big longer than the Goikd error. Throw in musical stadiums in a big city, and it’s not that surprising. Jerry Granville was a disaster
