My X/Twitter feed tells me 27 years ago it was Ohowihate at Penn State.
My first game in person at Beaver Stadium. I scalped a ticket for $45 and left at halftime to walk to our tailgate (a friend was in the second row from stadium) and then return to seat.
Poor suckeye fan was in our section (which I think was student section) and was getting abused on each Penn State score.

Now, I’m trying to find a parking pass for Washington game and they are $100 or more on Ticketmaster with the lovely $77 service fee.

I was a student at that game as well. I don’t remember what season ticket package cost for students back then but I think it was around $15 a ticket.

I would have said about $18/ game at that point.

I didn’t need tickets but I bought them anyways to get friends/family in. My parents were interested in coming to the OSU game and I traded my Pitt ticket for an extra OSU ticket. Got my parents seats on the 40 about 12 rows back…PSU left a lot of $ on the table in the days before they checked IDs to get into the student section.

As good as that game was, the night was great too as LSU upset Florida to move us to #1…downtown was nuts. Great night to live in Cedarbrook.

To be clear, I was 36 years old, but very much enjoyed the student section!!
36?...I was 49! Four of us came out from Wyoming and the only tickets we could find were from a student. She worked at HiWay pizza I think on Rt 322. We arrived, had some pizza and she gave us the tickets and wanted cash. We didn't have that much cash among us. She wouldn't accept a check so we tried to cash a check at HiWay but they said no. So, We paid for the pizza and tipped the girl $500 (4 tickets). My buddy still has the receipt

I like the story, but if you didn't have the money to pay cash, how were you able to tip $500?
