Message Replied To ========== Next big time college football game you go to - count everyone you see working the game in any capacity and multiply that number by 5 and you might come close to the number of people needed to put on a major college football game. I think part of the issue is that most of the media guys that have hot takes on UF-LSU show up and take the elevator to their spot on media row, watch the game, write their story and then head home... they don't see/know everything that is involved in putting on the event. ==============================SAFE - ushers/security at every gate, section entrance, in the concourses, etc (come in from Jax/Orlando)
