The season opens Saturday, and it runs all day.
First kick is noon, TCU and North Carolina, from Dublin — then games straight through the afternoon, Florida State hosting New Mexico State at 7:00 PM on The CW, and a late one after that. Twenty-six screens, no cover, and the good tables go well before the FSU kick.
Come at noon. Stay for the day.
