The Battle of the Beltway between the Hoyas and the Terrapins featured such an electrifying rivalry that herds of fans scrambled for a place to watch the game where the atmosphere equaled the contest s hype and excitement. All three levels of this sports fan s heaven were packed with men and women vying for booths, barstools, beer and barbeque wings. The scene was hectic, the vibe was crazy and the game was just as wild.
Fans couldn t turn around without being bombarded with images from the game.
Visions of Hoyas and Terrapins danced in their heads. Gerald Audant, whose uncle and current roommate both attended Georgetown, was able to get into the screening room with his group of friends.
