Indiana University

Date: Sept. 10, 2011

Opponent: Virginia (34-31 UVA)

Tailgating/Pregame: I believe I went to Upland Brewing before the game (sorry, it was a while ago). I seem to remember it was a nice place, and was great for a place to park. It was about a mile or two to the stadium, which made it ideal for free parking. No clue if they still do that, though.  

Crowd: A bit underwhelming. The student section was a bit weak, but the weather was not so great (see photo below). 

Stadium experience: What the crowd lacked in enthusiasm, it certainly made up for it in beauty. Undergoing a recent renovation in 2010, the stadium has a great look. A strong granite and rock theme, I was impressed.

Overall: Nice look, underwhelming atmosphere.
