WACO, Texas (Dec. 4, 2014) - On Saturday, Dec. 6, Baylor University will welcome ESPN College GameDay to Waco for a live broadcast of the popular show that airs on ESPNU and ESPN. The GameDay broadcast will originate from the Umphrey Pedestrian Bridge that links the Baylor campus to McLane Stadium over the Brazos River. Fans are encouraged to gather for the show in the South Plaza of McLane Stadium.
Excited and energetic fans are an important part of the ESPN College GameDay experience. Baylor students, alumni and friends are encouraged to fill the South Plaza and show their Baylor spirit as the television cameras roam the crowd. A special reserved section for students called the “student pit” is located just behind the GameDay stage. Other fans may be a part of the show throughout the Plaza area. Fans may begin taking their places near the set starting at 6 a.m. The three-hour show will begin its live broadcast at 8 a.m.
The Umphrey Pedestrian Bridge will close to pedestrian traffic at 7 a.m. and remain closed until approximately 3 p.m. Fans are encouraged to approach the stadium from the North side along Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. or utilize shuttles that will run from:
• Downtown Waco (5th Street at Austin Ave.) from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.
