ITOO Spaghetti dinner

T, I just re-read your post #14 and thought what a great event it must be if the place it's being held doesn't hold everybody. IMO, it did hold everybody though and not too many left until the team showed up and was introduced. You bring up parking and people having to walk 2 or 3 blocks if the event was held at the Student Center. Will everybody be able to park in the new garage? Won't they have to park on neighborhood streets no matter where it's held on campus? I'm not adamant about it being held at the ITOO, I just think it's the best place to hold it, but as a long, long time Braves fan I appreciate the effort the staff is putting into it trying to appease everyone.
 
Chico - I can only relate how it usually happened to us and likely to other families with kids....and I am not complaining because I loved taking my kids to the Itoo Spaghetti Supper and still would if it were still being held...
I suspect it would be hard for someone inside the building and watching the team & coaches speak to notice if there were others quietly leaving so possibly some at Itoo never saw those who were leaving...

But, I was there many years with small kids at Itoo and came early, ate, mingled a little, got a few autographs, bought a few tip boards, then left early....
If a family comes as a group of 5 or 6 with kids - they simply could not find a place to sit all together -- so we'd break up into separate groups...but the small kids would quickly lose interest when their food was eaten and want to leave.

So we often left after talking with players & coaches but well before the full "ceremony" and we weren't the only ones, as others were leaving the lot when we were.
There were years that we left by 6-6:30 and there were still people arriving at that time to take our parking spaces.
 
I get what you're saying about kids, etc., but outside of that that's part of the program IMO, to break into separate groups and mingle with fellow BU fans. Guess you can do that no matter it's held though, so let's hope it's a success no matter where it's held.
