First game at Ohio Stadium - What do I need to know?

[Honor&Glory]

Ok...its been since 06 since I've been up for a game...things have changed (i.e. no Hineygate)...

Wife and I will be up there by 7AM. We usually get off at Lane and take a left and park at the public lots two lights up...we used to take the shuttle bus to the stadium and then walk over to Hineygate...well, Hineygate doesn't exist anymore and I'm not sure what to do or where to go before Skull Session.
If anybody has any suggestions or wants to host H&G and Mrs. H&G....I could use some advice! :)

Thank you!

Go Bucks...Beat Blue!

There is a Hineygate type of tailgate party at Riverwatch Towers. Live Band, Giant screen TV's, food, drink etc. (bring your ID to purchase drink tickets).

Also a big tailgate party in and behind/beside Varsity Club. (Again bring your ID).

The Danger Bros. are now playing at a much smaller venue located near the Red Roof Inn on Olentangy River Road at a gift shop called "Across the Field".

There appear to be some sort of activities going on South of St. John's Arena, however not sure if any drinking is involved.

Thank you for the info...much appreciated. I do have to ask a dumb question but wehre are the Riverwatch Towers in conjuction to say St. John Arena or the old Hineygate?

Riverwatch is directly across Lane Ave from the stadium.

If you are familiar with the old Hineygate location (Holiday Inn), then there is that 7 eleven store just to the west, and right next to that, Riverwatch Towers. Seems like a younger crowd there with more modern type music.

Yeah, I'm not a younger crowd sort of guy any more. But I need my pre-game beer or I'll feel like I didn't do my part to beat *ichigan. :)

I know that 7-Eleven well. Passed out in one of the isles back in 1990 when I was up for the The Game. Thank you for all of your help! Go Bucks! Beat Blue!
