Yet the football schedule on JMU Sports.com says:
“DEC 21 (SAT)
FCS PLAYOFFS SEMIFINALS“

So which is it? Semis on Fri and Sat as its been in the past at least for a couple decades, or both semis on Sat?

Time to whip out the top 10 excuses for why folks can't attend home playoff games in December...

10. Must get hair and nails done (and these are the guys)

9. My brother's neighbor's attorney's uncle's mistress is getting married in Bangladesh and I must attend

8. We have an office Christmas party featuring Weird Al Yankovic doing hip hop versions of Merle Haggard songs

7. Have to celebrate Chaka Khan (and we're Muslim)

6. Can't afford it as I'm broke from wagering my entire life savings on the Redskins to win the Super Bowl this year

5. Saving up money to go to Frisco for the championship game

4. It's too cold - and yes, KC Keeler is our hero

3. Our dog must be groomed - yes, every Friday and Saturday in December

2. Oh crap, I forgot about this...maybe next year

and...

1. 17 or 18 thousand people in the stadium are enough - filling it up for home playoff games? Meeeeh, that's for the Bizon.

Anyone have cold weather seating considerations they'd like to share? Which sections are "warmest", in the most sun without it being in you eyes, etc?

2Buck, I used to prepare my daughter in ski attire, purple of course. Never once complained about the cold until she became a teenager and refused to dress appropriately for a cold game. I couldn't even get mits on her paws.

Club seats are warm. As are the box seats. Actually they have literal heaters that can be turned on which face you that are mounted on the ceiling directly above/in front of the dozen or so seats per box. Not to mention stepping inside behind the storefront.

How much are you looking to donate?

When those heaters are turned on in the box seats for the suites it is actually too hot and the lamps almost give you a sunburn. Going inside actually cools you off.

Thx. Kids might be getting club seats for their Christmas presents this year.

You can use me as a tax deduction and I'll call you daddy (only if you insist) if you put me on your Christmas list. Joking aside, that's a great Dad kind of gift that only a Dad would do! (Maybe some moms)

I saw that, and the $150 is total cost? There's no "seat contribution" on top of it?
