<p>With Lively Atmospheres and Cheap Seats, Smaller Football Colleges Offer More Bangs for Your Bucks</p>

<p>

Football is to fall what baseball is to summer. Only much, much more expensive. </p>

<p>Unless you want to take out a second mortgage, the chances of getting your family into a Redskins game this season are slim to none. Even at the University of Maryland, $45 will get one adult into Saturday’s game – in Section 302. From those seats, you can see the Washington Monument and maybe the players . . . if you squint or bring binoculars. </p>

<p>So skip the $35 parking and the crowded Metro cars and take the family to a game at one of the area’s smaller football colleges. Sure, the players might not be destined for the pros, but the draw isn’t just the game; it’s the marching bands, grassy end zones where you can picnic and the chance for kids to meet the players at halftime…
