Maryland vs. UVA - Football Experience

[Texas Wahoo 3,391]

On the heals of attending the game at Bama, I am on a bit of a football high and planning on taking my 3 year old to his first football game tomorrow night when UVA travels to Maryland.  I would have loved to take him to Bama, but figured the flights and tailgating would have been way to much for him.  This seems like a better starter game.

They will be playing at their real stadium on campus and not the monstrosity in Landover that the Texas game was at, so I have no experience with the immediate area or gameday experience.  Has anyone been there and have any thoughts on parking, any issues with bringing a small child, wearing visitor's gear, etc.?

My guess is that UVA will get trounced, as they have looked awful and Maryland is 14.5 point favorites, but it should be fun to check out the stadium and let my son enjoy the experience.

Oh yeah, you don't want to go to Maryland football as a visitor. Prepare to be yelled at, spit on, have batteries thrown at you. Assaulted on the way to and from the game. Your child will be sold into slavery.

Tickets are going for $8, so they are super pumped about this game.

Just came by to say our daughter (no pics, I'll cut you man) is a UVA grad.  The place is awesome.  Don't know anything about Maryland or its campus.

Carry on.

If you are planning on taking a 3 year old to tailgate and to a game I suggest you get to the tailgate early enough so he can get in an hour nap right before the game. He won't be cranky and will likely last the entire game, plus it will help sober him up a little bit before kickoff.

You'll be fine as far as the kid/fans go.  Byrd is a pretty cool stadium, imo.  You walk in at mezzanine level and the lower bowl is below you.

I'd love to see an Ohio St- Maryland game then
