My perspective of running on the field


Oct 14, 2016, 12:53 PM

My boys and I have always gone on the field after the games just as I did when I was little. My favorite picture of them is when my oldest (now 15) is 3 years old and in his stance ready to take off for a 20 yard Hail Mary and his little brother (now 12) is guarding him with a pacifier hanging out of his mouth. Both have such a look of joy on their face. Now that they are older they try to get an autograph or a selfie and then come back to throw the ball. We have joked that we should recreate that picture but my 12 year old is not keen on the pacifier.
I have said for years when I die I want to be cremated and my ashes spread right there where we throw the football after each game.
My boys know the drill. With 2 minutes left on the clock they can start making their way to the gates by the hill. They have never attempted to jump the wall or enter before time expires. This is such an easy thing to do--wait 30 seconds. I watched as the students on the hill were surging forward at the end of the Louisville game and I remember thinking, "oh that doesn't look good for the ones trapped at the bottom behind the gate!"
Please don't ruin this wonderful tradition by not waiting 30 seconds. I want to watch my sons take my grandkids out on the field one day.

Thank you for getting it, thank you for understanding that you can enjoy a time honored tradition without being selfish.

you have to wonder where it will end though

even after waiting 30 seconds people complain about kids throwing footballs on the field and nailing people in the face or bowling over people running for passes

Maybe it would be best if they made fans wait until at least the teams shake hands and allow the visiting team to leave the field. The CU players that want to sign will remain on the field for a short time after. I do not think the tradition has to stop but the fans need to just act in a calmer manner. I also think that games like UL are different and even if they did not let people on the field if we won a game like that in the future the student's are coming on the field no matter what.

That's the thing that will be the ruin of it. The next high-profile wins in DV will be overly scrutinized, and it's very unlikely that it will end well. :(

Haven't they been saying for years: "Please wait until both

teams have had an opportunity to leave the field" before you come on?

I really don't see the big deal.

We don't "rush the field" after every game--that's what ESPN says we do--but we "Gather at the Paw."

Waiting literally half a minute prior to doing that is not a slippery slope to anything.

Field Security


Oct 14, 2016, 3:38 PM

I work security at the games and it would be great if the fans would wait until the opposing team left the field. At the Louisville game some fans ran up to Cardinal players and taunted them. I was just waiting for one player to smack one.
