City of Pullman declares state of emergency to deal with College GameDay crowd

For the first time ever, College GameDay will visit Pullman, Washington, for the Cougars game against Oregon Saturday.

ESPN drove the GameDay bus to Pullman Wednesday, and folks went wild, and you can imagine what Saturday will be like.

Ahead of an expected massive crowd, the Pullman City Council granted a state of emergency declaration by the City of Pullman to help deal with the crowd, according to PullmanRadio.com (NewsTalk 1150 AM).

WSU officials asked the city for additional buses because they were unable to find private services that could deal with the expected crowd.

The WSU flag has been a staple on College GameDay for 15 years, the premier pregame show is finally coming to its city.
