Do you know about the "Jacket Walk"

I am ashamed to say, this is new to me, and I suspect might be new to a lot of readers, but check it out. (link at the Hive). Evidently about 2 hours before gametime before each game, the team gets off the bus and walks down "YellowJacket Alley", the road in front of Peters Parking Deck to BDS. Police escort the bus, have sirens blaring. Fans line the streets as the teams walks down the "alley", cheering them on and getting them ready for the game.
 
So if you are heading to a game this fall, make sure to get there early and support the team. It should be fun and a good chance to see the players up close.
 
Am I the only one feeling like a terrible fan? I mean, I graduated from the dang school and still didn't remember this.
