Droves of students stopped to watch workers build the set of ESPN College GameDay on the Memorial Quad. Set up began early this morning while ESPN personalities including Kirk Herbstreit and Erin Andrews arrive on campus Friday to begin broadcasting segments for SportsCenter. Workers installed a yellow “O” today in the front atrium of Lillis that will serve as a backdrop for ESPN cameras. The signature college football show will open their gates at 1:00 a.m. and the broadcast begins at 6:00 a.m. in anticipation for Oregon’s matchup with the Arizona State Sun Devils Saturday night.
