Can anyone confirm if these changes for GHOE are true. The young alum/UG are concerned that there will be no cooking on plots, only in holland bowl. No music on plots. The plot area is a pivotal part of my/our homecoming experience so any insight on what's going on and why/how would be helpful.

i have no insight, but if those rumors are true, it would "destroy" the ghoe experience! i can't even imagine that after all of these years they would eliminate the grills and music on "plot hill". we've never had any problems over all of these years, why eliminate them now?

Per the universities official account. Changes are being made to homecoming & will be announced October 1st.......I have a real bad feeling |

Calm down...don't sell your Homecoming concert tickets, hotel rooms and game seats yet. This will be "different" but we can survive this. One thing about Aggies, we will figure out a way to make the best out of any situation. Especially if there's a party going on. Remember when the rules around access to the Sheraton Four Seasons were changed. Lots of alums screamed bloody murder...now it's a non-event.
I've seen the crowds that have formed along "Frat row" during Homecoming and that might be frightening A&T's Administration. Not saying it's right or justified but I think Dr. Martin is being overly cautious and trying to get ahead of what he perceives as a potential problem.

UGH! Maybe they can move the grills and dj's to the Holland Bowl. Just thinking out loud. Hmm, I don't know about this one. GHOE may never be the same!

My apologies. That website isn't an "official" announcement from T. But those are the expected changes. Some think the fireworks last year might've caused the issue over the edge. But when the university releases their statements, I'll update. But I will say there is some truth to the site.

i adamantly don’t agree with it, but i can see how the grilling could be considered a fire hazard even though there’s never been any problems throughout all of these years. however, banning the “music”? just doesn’t make sense to me.
when they make “drastic” changes like this, i wish they would delineate the “rationale” behind such changes. it might make acceptance of these changes a little easier to swallow if the rationale makes sense. seems to me (based on these changes) that they are concerned with the enormous crowds that are attracted to greek hill after the game...

i hate the new rules, but i have no choice but to give it a chance. wow, this is gonna be very difficult to get used to. another long time “tradition” vanished!! welp, i had a hard time getting over them prohibiting cars from driving through campus during ghoe. so maybe over time i’ll get used to this to, but it certainly won’t be easy...
