Day 8. June 2, 2007At 11:00 AM, we boarded everyone on the charter bus and headed to Adelphia Stadium – home of the Tennessee Titans. Participants were divided into 5 new teams and each team was given 2 pages of “clues” for landmarks in downtown Nashville and a digital camera. Their objective: to solve the “riddles” on the clue sheet and make their picture at that landmark.
Certain landmark pictures are worth more points than others due to the degree of difficulty of the riddle and the location of the landmark. The teams had until 4:00 PM to gather as many pictures as possible and return to McGill Hall for check in. Each team had team t-shirts. From a rooftop vantage point, the Accelerator staff tracked the teams’ progress in gathering clues as they passed over the pedestrian bridge into Riverfront Park through downtown Nashville and to Vanderbilt.
The weather was reasonably cooperative until the last 20 minutes of the competition when a heavy rain soaked a few of the teams remaining.
