Normally when you combine a less than exciting non conference opponent with a noon kickoff you can navigate through the Orange Lot pretty easily. With ticketing and parking passes going digital we expected there…

Did Kroger Field Seem Extra Loud Against Mississippi State?

Anyone in attendance at Kroger Field that watched the Wildcats take down the Bulldogs of Mississippi State will tell you what a great atmosphere it was.  I have a hard time recalling any game in Lexington that I've attended over the years ,football or basketball, where the crowd was all in from start to finish.  There wasn't a huge buildup to…

KROGER FIELD GAMEDAY OBSERVATIONS

Over the years the wife and I have developed certain tailgating areas that we like to explore prior to settling into our seats at Kroger Field.  Occasionally, we will have a large enough group to set up our gear in our Orange Lot spot but on other occasions, like last Saturday, it will just be the two of us and…

FLORIDA LOSS WAS TOUGH ON THIS UK FAN

It has been a tough week for UK fans after losing a heartbreaker against the Gators in Kroger Field.   My schedule has kept me too busy to blog since then,  but it has taken me until the next game to pull me out of the doldrums.  There isn't too much to say that hasn't already been said about last Saturday  so…

OBSERVATIONS FROM KROGER FIELD

Some Notes From Our Gameday Experience Getting There Our family of three hit the road for Lexington just a few minutes past 9am.  There was quite a bit of traffic heading south.  In particular, was the number of service trucks heading south, presumably for storm relief.  Those crews have some long days and nights ahead of them.  The traffic flow…
