Rutgers adding pool to Student section

[Brad908]

LOL

Rutgers students will be able to enjoy the school's football home opener versus the Washington Huskies from unique seats at High Point Solutions Stadium on September 1.

Per Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com, Rutgers plans to install a "temporary pool or Jacuzzi" in the student section for the university's first football game of the season. Students will have an opportunity to win access ahead of the matchup.

According to the official website for Rutgers Football, this is part of a "War Before the Shore" promotion meant to serve as an unofficial farewell to summer. Beach towels and sunglasses will be given away to set amounts of fans, and the "Block R Party" will feature a makeshift beach that includes volleyball nets, lifeguard stands and a sand sculpture.

That's the only way Rutgers will get a 'ring.'

If tv has taught us anything it's Jersey kids + hot tubs = stds and public sex

That'll be more pee than water by the end of the 1st quarter.

 

[KanePA]

So dumb. I guess they at least can swim while watching Rutgers lose 76-0

 

[joeparules]

Desperate attempt to keep the students at the game beyond halftime.

LOL

This beats having to walk back to your dorm room to hang yourself after seeing the performance of your team. You can just drown yourself right there. Maybe Marvel can buy the naming rights, Deadpool.

They are also going to retire Saquon Barkley's number at halftime.

Imagine his career trajectory if he stayed committed to rutgres...

I live in Jacksonville. They have a pool in the jags stadium.... nothing but drunk rednecks....you couldn't pay me to get in that thing... it's probably 90% piss.

 

[Colorado Man]

They should leave it so they can ice skate in winter.

 

[LafayetteBear]

Brilliant Idea! What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Lion8286]

Are they filling it with water or their fans tears?

 

[Sproul]

The old men who stand there waiting to shoot the cannon off after rutgres touchdowns should get to sit in it the entire game. Lord knows they did nothing when rutgres lost in 252-0 in 4 big ten games.

Imagine his career trajectory if he stayed committed to rutgres...

Even if Barkley had not flipped to us he would not be playing for Rutgers.

Well, according to rutgersal he would be lucky to be third string in RU's talented backfield!

They're adding a pool. A cesspool.

They're adding a pool. A cesspool.

Aren't they already one?

 

[Lane]

Pond would be good for them.

 

[PSUriseANDfire]

How do their leaders not recognize that this is a bad idea for any program because it is just dumb, but especially dumb for them.

They will lose by 40+ and the photos/videos are going to be everywhere along with infinite punchlines.

Same occurred to me about a possible visual. Getting blown out, half empty stadium and the occasional hot tub shot.

How does the saying "war before the shore" signify the end of summer? Wouldn't it be the opposite? Shore before the war? What am I missing with that saying? It doesn't make any sense
