This event was attended by over 35 people (25 classmates).  The new rule that “once a spectator enters the stadium area, a new ticket is required if one leaves and tries to re-enter the stadium area,” influenced some who wanted to attend.  They preferred to purchase from vendors, all of whom were inside the stadium area, before the game.  Therefore, they were not permitted to leave and enjoy the tailgate party.

Results[edit]

This event was attended by over 35 people (25 classmates). The new rule that “once a spectator enters the stadium area, a new ticket is required if one leaves and tries to re-enter the stadium area,” influenced some who wanted to attend. They preferred to purchase from vendors, all of whom were inside the stadium area, before the game. Therefore, they were not permitted to leave and enjoy the tailgate party.
