What will you miss most about football being played in the fall... aside from the action on the field.

For me, I am going to miss the smell of the concessions as you enter a stadium, the band(if it is a good band) rocking the house. The excitement of the players during warmups... The chatter on the sidelines you pickup on as a reporter.

I will miss how you start the season in blazing heat... I remember a few years ago I went to Manchester when they hosted Matoaca and I don't ever recall sweating so much at a football game. Then there is that crisp fall air that descends mid-season where you trade in the shorts for the jeans and a sweat shirt and when it is all said and done we are in November/December braving the cold elements.

Hopefully we have Spring football and it will be a unique experience for sure and give us all new experiences and memories but I am really going to miss Friday Night Lights in the fall.

Pretty much the same as you, Dan, but the interruption of the fall routine will be a huge change for me. Thursday JV/FR games, followed by a Friday at work full of anticipation, getting to the game early as usual to prep or just watch warmups and have dinner at concessions, then scanning the internet for scores and writeups post-game and Saturday. It isn't going to be the same fall.
