Have we ever been given a reason from the university as to why they were abandoned. I would assume toxic to environment. Things have obviously changed in development of balloons to mitigate that risk. @larrywilliams is there a way we can ask the people in charge if there is a way to do just one game this season? I will help fund it if possible. I would like SC game of we get a choice. I remember being a Kid walking into Death Valley and they would hand me one as I walked through the gates. It was on a string and I still remember the sky line full of orange balloons. Obviously that will never happen again but I would love to see the balloons on the hill again. Can this be asked?
