Re: Looking Forward: 2013-2014

yeah not really anything in walking distance (especially in December) but College Hill and Main Street are close drives.

College hill is not in walking distance? Good grief, how lazy have students gotten?

Who said anything about students? Most anyone could walk a mile but not sure why I'd want to after a game in December.

Sorry - how lazy have alumni gotten? You'd want to because 1) it's good exercise 2) you can walk across a beautiful campus and check it out 3) It's closer to half a mile than a mile and 4) if you aren't familiar with the area you are better off parking about half way there anyway.

It's 0.9 miles from the hill to the McLeod Center.

If you have ever been on campus you would realize you can walk right through the middle of campus from the McLeod to the Hill and not just walk along the street.

I walked through campus last summer. Didn't look like the UNI I knew. The campus now is so much better.

I've done this walk. We have a beautiful campus! Now granted, in December it'll likely be quite cold given the usual wind we have on campus. So if any VCU fans want to come back in spring or fall I highly recommend it!

I don't believe that's true. I walked from the dome to the book store and back just today. I'll bring a pedometer next weekend and check. Of course I walked from Rider to the hill and back hundreds of times and I think that has to be less than half a mile. The McLeod is only another block or two.

The best walk is to use the ped bridge south of McLeod through the arts courtyard, by the Campanile, and come out on the northeast corner of campus by the president's house, the honor's cottage, and Lang. Absolutely beautiful, even in winter.

Bookstore to McLeod Center is .8 miles along the streets. It doesn't allow you to measure through campus on Google Maps.

I agree that I wouldn't recommend visiting fans to walk that during December.
