We're taking at least 10 and I'm really excited about the trip.

I'm in +1. Decided to go on Wednesday. Ordered tickets Thursday morning and got them in the mail this (Saturday) afternoon. Great work by the Marshall ticket office.

Anyone staying down in Huntington Saturday night? I'm trying to figure out which hotel to book.

I was thinking about making the trip.  Never been to Huntington.

When I called on Thursday they said they didn't have the tickets for our section back from the OHIO ticket office yet, and didn't know when they would be able to start selling them.

The guy on the phone was very helpful though and got me aisle seats in section 105, right next to our section.

If work miraculously decides to reschedule me to not work saturday and sunday, then I will be in hopefully +1.

In plus a lot.  What is the official in counter?  People I carpool with? People I sit with?

First I'd like to say going to the Marshall game two years ago was probably my second favorite tailgating experience (second to Tennessee). I've been to a lot of college football games. Second, I think it's pretty lame we don't bring more fans to Marshall than we do. It's the only real rivalry we have right now; the only team and fanbase that's willing to give a little resistance (Miami is dead). And from my limited, one time, experience I'd say the home fans were great to us.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised about the environment down in Huntington. It's like a mini SEC school. And the stadium looks great when it's filled to the top. Which it absolutely will for this game.

I've been planning to go to the game all year. I'm going with a couple other buddies but we have yet to buy tickets. I would have gotten them earlier but there was never a link or advertisement in an email or the OU athletics website.

This game is severely under-marketed on OHIO's campus. They should pimp the road tickets to this game like they're trying to fill Peden (maybe offer incentives like a free T-shirt for every ticket, pickup only). There should absolutely be a Ozone bus trip to this Marshall game. But there is not. There should be a bus trip to every road game at Marshall for as long as the rivalry is maintained. Bringing Athens to Huntington will only enhance the experience.

I can only hope we bring a lot more than 133. I know we will, but we won't be able to match the impressive amount we brought to State College. 

+1

Like I said in the other thread:

Is there anything being done to get students down to Huntington? I know the OZone isn't taking buses, but are there any carpool efforts?

I bet many students don't realize how close Huntington is to Athens. With the 6:30 kickoff you could easily watch a noon game, leave Athens in the afternoon, stay for the whole game and still make it back in time to celebrate the win on Court Street for a few hours.

It's easily the closest roadtrip we have this season. Someone needs to make that clear to the students.

The Marshall game is one of the two away games (other being Penn State) that the 110 is traveling to.

The 110 will be there.  They are larger than ever.  They had almost 300 students tryout and are marching 240 this year (up from 214 last year).  Not only that, they actually dropped the flags to make room for more instruments , so the net gain in sound is even greater.

I would recommend the Holiday Inn over Pullman Plaza simply because its a newer, updated property. Pullman is a little outdated IMO, especially for the rate charged. But its not a huge deal, its clean and has its own parking garage. Coach Bobby Pruett's Steakhouse is also in the lobby of the Pullman Plaza and its usually where the visiting team stays.

As far as being in the middle of it all, Pullman Plaza is in the heart of it. You're across the street from Pullman Square. You're also a block down from the Marshall Hall of Fame Cafe a must see if you've never been to Huntington. Ask to sit in the bar area and try to hit up Happy Hour (4-7) on Friday. The Hall of Fame has cases of Marshall athletics memorabilia and a display of props used in the filming of We Are... Marshall. Roosters is good at Pullman Square as is Max and Ermas and Unos.

Pullman Square is hosting Chilifest 2012 on Saturday the 15th(6am - 6pm) as well. They close down 3rd avenue in front of Pullman Square and have it on the street.
