This seems like a you problem.

Of all the criticism I've heard of the stadium (there are many justifiable ones) not being able to find a restroom is a new. Did you have the same problem finding a restroom when the Braves played there? They have not been moved.

Your description of security is a complete exaggeration. I have literally walked through security with a beer in hand on multiple occasions.

I was talking about restrooms in the parking area. Security was metal detectors and confiscated my pocket knife. It's supposed to be Georgia though I'm aware Atlanta barely qualifies as Georgia anymore.

Not to be nitpicky/snarky but according to this most of Georgia is in Atlanta (MSA).

Thank you for making my point. Most of the people in the the Atlanta MSA are NOT Georgians.

I wouldn't say most but a good number(remember reading somewhere percentage was around 30 a couple of years ago) of us are implants from elsewhere who moved here for either employment, business or simply reuniting with family/friends in the area. I have to ask though why in the world were you carrying a pocket knife to a game?

Years of unhealthy eating habits and booze rendered skinny jeans utterly useless for me and i don't carry a pocket knife but even the ones who do usually don't take them to bed, bathroom or public events esp the ones where heated exchanges are a strong possibility like sporting events where those things are restricted for a reason.

I personally don't but even the ones who do usually don't take them to bed, bathroom or public events esp the ones where heated exchanges are a strong possibility like sporting events where those things are restricted for a reason.

What kind of sporting events do you go to? I've been going to college football and basketball games since the 70's as a kid and I've NEVER had a heated exchange with anyone LOL

Usually a handful of NFL games, ODU FB and some High school FB and i have seen some heated exchanges and some fights as well so yeah there is a reason they don't allow thoes to games.

If I am wearing pants with pockets I have my pocket knife with me. Going to a BB game here you have to go through a metal detector. I leave it in the car then. No big deal. Only place we have that.

Man I was just trying to do some ribbing didn't mean to start a multipage conversation lol

If it's a special season, I may end up @ODU and possibly @Louisiana

I am a USM fan living in N Georgia so all the game are away games for me.

Never been to Boone and Mobile so this will be our first time out there.

Welcome!

Come for the beautiful coeds, amazing BBQ, and world-class tailgating.

Stay for the loss.

Don't forget to spend money in town!

Been to better BBQ in NC and sure as hell been to better tailgating elsewhere but i will tell you this though ECU has been one of most friendly and welcoming fanbase i had the pleasure of visiting and i am guessing that could change a little based on how good the visiting team is. Either way Greenville is not a bad place to visit for a game. As per win/loss i dont know what we can be this season but one thing is for sure you don't have the advantage of playing against that moronic Bobby Blunder and his nincompoop compadres this time.

I’ll just say this… I was in Greenville in 2017 and had some of the worst bbq my mouth has ever tasted. I don’t remember the name of the place though.

Only game that I’m definitely going to miss at this point, home or away, is Morgan State. That coincides with one of my granddaughters’ birthday, and since I became a grandfather relatively late in life (68) I’m not going to miss any of those celebrations that I’m physically able to attend.

If you are going to be getting into heated exchanges, it might wise to start carrying some protection. I kid of course.. But even setting that aside, I can think of dozens of uses for a pocket knife at a football game, especially if it is of the key chain Swiss army variety.

It's crazy to me that anyone would expect to be able to take a knife in to a sporting event. Must be much more common than I'd have thought though.

Lol i never got into one myself, just saying that i witnessed some at various levels of events. Mostly people who cant handle booze and some sober idiots who dont know when to stop yapping. Either way pocket knives are not permitted at these sporting events to not take a chance as well as covering their ass for liability if someone were to sneak one in.

I just remembered the time I was in the VIS section for a WVU game and they had a beachball going...this hilljack (Marshall term) grabs the ball and all of a sudden you see it go flat...I'm like "really?!"
