Where is the set going to be?

Seems like they would have to close Stadium Way if they were going to do that. Maybe the Mall, and leave Stadium Way for Fox.
The Pac-12 network's spot along Stadium Way with the Stadium in the background was pretty good. I'd put it there.
The Pac-12 Networks nailed it for the Utah game. Setting up right next to the new building on Stadium Way, with Martin in the background. Problem is, as just mentioned.....they would have to close off Stadium Way.
Not only that, but who's going to pay for the bill that City Hall will receive? $25,000 for additional police and security, etc. I'm sure they'll be bringing in and contracting out security from Lewiston and Spokane thus paying overtime for this.
Open up a new Go Fund Me campaign? Is it in their current budget? I'm thinking, City Hall-City of Pullman or WSU faces a new challenge they'll have, regarding spending additional resources for security.
Wonder if ESPN kicks in a little (for security)?

Ah, the threat of debt!!! We should just call ESPN now and call the whole thing off.
Disagree. The backside of the North Side stadium, isn't very flattering. Looks weak. Almost like bleachers.
And cover up the Lane Rawlins Paysless sign
Ok. This thing is going to be huge. So no to the Pac-12 site. not nearly big enough.
So that leaves the track, practice fields or maybe the Baseball field. Or the Terrell mall.
No on the practice fields, they need to set the thing up a day before which would disrupt practice. Track is pretty logical, even if the view of stadium isn't that flattering. Terrell mall next, although top of the library is ideal view-wise, but I'm not sure they could fit in all the fans who will be there - spilling down the mall both ways around the corners.....
Have them call the mayor. He knows football, the campus and broadcasting!
I say the Pac-12 spot is by far the best and absolutely cover the V. Lane Rawlins sign, (good catch CougEd, totally agree!
). Are you hearing this ESPN?Stadium Way would have to be shut down, but hey it's 6-9am, no problem! Don't forget to order and bring is extra porta-potties! LOL.

That’s a lot of people to shut down Stadium Way.
I think the background needs to be pretty flat. It was for the few game days I’ve been to.
gameday will want flat with lots of room behind for fans.......I'd say the practice field... with the FOB in the background
No and no again. Just read (in one of MY posts) that Gameday will show up on Wednesday. So first off, no "closing down Stadium Way".
And do you shut down the practice field on Wed or for sure Thurs? No. Which really leaves the track, or Baseball field, or Terrell Mall.
And, I assume they start tearing the thing down right after the show. So you need to be accessible.
I bet $5 Gameday itself has a say in this. Bet those boys show up on Wed. and say, OK, show us the options. Yep, we'll go here.
They’ve probably already scouted it out. If someone didn’t fly in today they’ve been here before and they already know where they are going to set up.
Thursday night football can easily be held inside the stadium....so the practice field is where it will probably be.
Could be the end of the mall by Bryan Tower and the Library.
Top priority is enough space to hold 10K people. It’s got to be Rogers field. The team can practice in the bubble. There is no excuse team wise, to not use Rogers field. I could also see it being held by the clock tower. The early morning shine of the clock would be sweet.
