Ahead of WSU’s ESPN College GameDay appearance, Pullman issues emergency declaration to deal with crowd

PULLMAN – Tens of thousands of people are expected to be in Pullman Saturday for ESPN College GameDay’s first-ever visit to Washington State, and the subsequent Pac-12 North battle between the 12th-ranked Oregon Ducks and 25th-ranked WSU Cougars.

To deal with the congestion, Pullman City Council has approved an “emergency declaration” that will allow Pullman Transit buses to transport Washington State fans and College GameDay attendees through campus on Saturday.

According to Pullman Radio News, the emergency declaration was brought forth to the Pullman City Council, and approved, Tuesday evening. The news outlet is reporting that WSU requested additional buses from the city after the school was unable to locate private bus services.
