You have kids barrel rolling into the back of your legs or bumping into the fence. Still better than sitting in the stands. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomer Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 There is something magical about the fence.

KirtFalcon Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Back in the 60s and 70s Garrison had a pecking order on the fence, you had to establish yourself as a longtime fan before you could wedge your way into a good spot.ย The old timers had their places and no one challenged their spots .... there were also a few parking spaces inside Bulldawg stadium where elderly or physically challenged fans were allowed to park their vehicles at the end of the bleachers and watch the game from their vehicles ...ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
