Tonight's season opening home football game for the WKU Hilltoppers might actually feel more like an away game for them.
Home or away, teams usually sequester themselves in a hotel the night before a game to get themselves focused and go over last minute details without distractions. But with thousands of Corvette enthusiasts in town for the 20th anniversary of the Corvette Museum this weekend, there were no available hotel rooms in Bowling Green.
The Hilltoppers stayed overnight Thursday night more than an hour away from home in Nashville, as did their opponent in Friday night's game, Bowling Green State.
A WKU athletics department spokesman told the Louisville Courier-Journal the bus trip will cost about $2,000.
