With 50 new tents setting up last night and this morning, the tent count at the Big Blue Madness camp-out has climbed to approximately 550, breaking the record of 525 set last year.Walking around the campsite this morning, there are still plenty of campers arriving and setting up across the street from Memorial Coliseum. Amazingly, there is still room for more people at Stoll Field as we enter the final day before ticket distribution tomorrow at 7 a.m. We will have one more official count late this afternoon when that record number of tents will assuredly be improved upon.Campers have been treated to visits from coaches and players from a number of different teams, including a early morning breakfast delivery from the men’s basketball team on Friday.
