Home Field Advantage
Baltimore's Morgan State University marching band is as much of a draw as the football team. Loud and proud, the musicians play constantly, whether on the field or in the stands, even in the middle of a play.

Another advantage to attending small college football games is the ability to get in and out quickly for little or no money. At Morgan State, parking across the street in a garage is just $10, and there is ample free street parking. Gallaudet as well as Howard and Catholic universities (which have affordable football games, too) are all accessible by Metro.
So spend the fall weekends outdoors at a local college football game. After all, there is so much more about the game to enjoy, and the Redskins will still be on television in the winter.
