This is where I've always parked in the past, but they're towing people like mad this year, so I think I'll have to find somewhere else.

I will be there of course. The plan is to go to the game and then find a cool bar and watch the OSU-Mich game and then head to the GEC and watch the Predators-Blue Jackets game at night. Should be a good day.

No day spent in Branson East is a good day.

No. That's Centenial Park, or whatever they call it now. They're towing people who park there this year. I've always parked there in the past, but I'm not going to risk it this year.

Wow, that's crazy. I parked there with the rest of the Kentucky fans last year, had a great time.

Maybe that's why they closed it. :ermm:

I can't tell you from 40, but if you can get to downtown, get on Broadway until it runs into West End Avenue. Stay on West End and you'll run right in to the stadium. Where did you find free tics?

I'm here now, and I can't wait to see the Vols atone for last year.

Hopefully sitting in Nashville will be better than last week in Fayetteville.

Centenial, where the Parthenon is. Right across from the stadium. I've never heard of any skinheads hanging out there.

I know where Centenial Park is. I went to H.S. on Elliston Place.:p

I was talking about Dragon Park, near the Harris-Hillman school. The street that runs parallel between Natchez Trace and Hillsboro Rd.
