Editor’s Note: The following was written by Harold Leeder, editor-in-chief of The New Circle Circular, Lexington’s #1 source of fake news you can’t count on.
Kroger Field has announced an event this coming Monday that will allow fans a chance to experience the newly renamed football facility before the season kicks off. Tailgaters will be allowed in the parking lot early and will be able to purchase special parking passes and any regular season ticket holders will receive a free pair of eclipse glasses provided they make a sizable donation to the K fund.
Fans will be able to take their seats by 1pm when the pre-game show will begin when former UK quarterback Freddie Maggard will begin breaking down film of previous matchups between the sun and moon for all of the fans in attendance.
The eclipse is expected to peak at roughly 2:29 in Lexington, the real treat for fans will be Kentucky's own Marlana Vanhoose singing a stirring rendition of Total Eclipse Of The Heart as the moon slowly passes in front of the sun.
To learn more about what to expect during this eclipse local eclipse enthusiast Rob Bromley weighed in. "I was there for the last one in 1935, that was probably the best one, the 1918 one was nothing to write home about," began Bromley. "The Sun dominated all day, but this Sun and Moon matchup will be closer than the experts think. I like the Sun to win but the Moon to cover." Bromley added that he plans to attend this year's Eclipse viewing and will enjoy hearing Vanhoose sing saying, "I can't wait for this year's show. I got thrown out when they did this back in the 30's over at Stoll Field because I kept spicing up that boring song with some F-bombs here and there."
