I know, it’s not really connected with football, but Southern Illinois University does expect to fill its stadium today as a prime viewing spot for the total eclipse. As it happens, Carbondale is very close to the point of greatest duration for the eclipse (2:38 for them). As the STATS.com clips says, NASA has deployed a major effort there. The Weather Channel also has a team on-site. They were on a bit ago and you could see marching band members in the background and they are already starting to fill up.

According to a map I found, you will be able to view some pretty high-percentage partials in much of western and southern Montana (92.1% in Missoula, 95.1% in Bozeman, 97.5% in Dillon, etc.)
So … I thought I’d start a thread here where people actually look in, rather than a more “appropriate” Forum.
We’re in the path of totally here in Idaho Falls and the leading edge is supposed to start in about a half hour. “Once in a lifetime” … so we’ll be out there with our eclipse glasses at the ready. Anybody else planning a viewing party?
