Not a great pic but was taken at 7:44 from lot 6. Hundreds of people in line and a bunch more still wrapping up their tailgating. 

Why so late?  I never understood this.  Just start tailgating earlier and wrap up so you're in the stadium for the national anthem and team entrance.  It's not that hard.  I was amazed how many people missed the first 4 touchdowns last year with the FSU game because they had to tailgate right up until kickoff.

GO BULLS!

I'm with ya.  However, for some people the tailgate is the draw and not so much the game.  I have a few in my crowd like that

Agree. Since I bring the tent and tables I simply start tearing down early enough so that I am in my seat. 

Another good sign, we had to wait to get OUT of the parking lot - GO BULLS!

I was never so happy to wait at the gate to get in or in traffic to leave the lot

Without a doubt! I think I saw about 100 Cincinnati fans total 

there were a group of Noles in section 112 in the secure and 3rd row.

We watched the first series on my phone waiting to get in.

My buddy and I have a pretty solid routine that we worked out over the years and have NEVER been late for the kick off.

Looks like we might have to make sure adjustments (or they can hire more ticket people).

They were operating 2 or 3 lines at gate D which can accommodate at least 6. They need to get more staffing and open more if we start having people show up like this.

They wanted to see what a team with an offense looked like.

The crowd was so much better than we've seen in a long time. Was this 43k announced or actual? If actual it was very close to BE days, which is super encouraging.
