What happened to my ¤cash?
In a thinly veiled nod to Scooters Annual Football Parking Thread (http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/...-scooters-annual-football-parking-thread.html), I thought that it would also be good to have a game by game list of activities that are taking place so that those attending can have quick reference for great things to do.

I will take submissions for things that will be going on before / after each game and publish them in a separate post for each game.

Please feel free to send me items to include. It's been a long time since I lived on campus, and there's been a lot of changes... so all suggestions are welcome.

I'll let the group and mods decide if we want to keep this locked down for organization purposes. Until a decision is made, please feel free to start posting thoughts / suggestions / additions / etc.

Thanks for your help. I know that others like myself will find this information useful when heading into town.
