This first game will be tough.  

We have COVID-19 protocols.
We have new digital tickets.
And we have a fairly high profile opponent.

I suspect those that stroll up to the gate 5 minutes before kick should pretty much count on missing most of the first quarter.

We are planning to arrive about an hour earlier than we would otherwise to tailgate, so that we can walk from our car to get our wristbands, and also to allow for extra time in getting into the stadium. With fewer gates to go into, and the new system, it's gonna take a while. It was already slow pre-COVID with the metal detectors.

Will see how it goes, but given that Stanford has had a LONG time to plan for today, it looks like they aren't near ready and really haven't thought this through very well. There should be at least twice as many locations for wristbands, and some of them should be in the parking lots. There should be MORE gates open, not fewer, with a new ticketing system. I'm not expecting good outcomes
