That is seriously one of those memories that just glows in the brain, that beautiful walk from campus, across the footbridge, through the running trail area, and then around that slight bend where you see Mecca develop before your eyes. You spend each step thinking about the opponent, the team, and who is going to step up huge today. It starts in the streets around campus, you and your friends, with other groups sort slowly forming, then you filter into a larger mob around the physical plant and art studios across the street, then all join together into a faithful throng around the footbridge which actually moves up and down with your weight. The masses create a camaraderie, you might have a conversation with someone you don’t know, you might laugh at some joke someone yelled out 20 feet ahead, you might just hear battle cries. The gathering, the natural surround, the destination are all magical, building anticipation to the boiling point.

It’s just a flat perfect progression.

For me, parking at the stadium itself is just a pure non-issue, it’s just not even relevant. The pilgrimage from campus is not just pleasant, it’s a necessity.

Parking structure for 65K replacing the SAE house would do the trick.
