The Latest Look at The College GameDay Set

By Paris Jackson

EUGENE, Ore--The wait is almost over. There's just one more day to go before ESPN's College GameDay Show broadcasts live from the Casanova Center. It's the fourth time GameDay is making a return to Eugene.

Pulling off a show of this magnitude each and every week is a lot of work. GameDay's director said it takes about 100 people to get the show up and running, over a two day period. The crew did most of the work on Thursday in the middle of the rain, but staff said they don't mind it.

GameDay staff said Saturday shows are a lot of fun and if college fans can brave the weather, so can they.

Gates to the fan area open at 5:30 on Saturday morning. It will hold between 300 to 400 spectators.  The GameDay show will air nationally from the Casanova Center parking lot at 7 a.m. on Saturday.
