Fayetteville, North Carolina -- Die-hard parade and Bronco fans arrived hours ahead of time on Saturday to score the best spots to watch the annual Fayetteville State University homecoming parade.
With the clear, blue sky, pleasant fall temperatures and entertaining bands, cheerleaders and marchers, spectators said it was worth it. The parade ran more than a mile along Murchison Road, from the edge of the downtown area to the north end of the FSU campus.
Thousands of people lined Murchison Road. Some walked from nearby neighborhoods, and some drove in from out of town.
Some sat for two hours before they heard the first drum taps and booms and the trumpet blares from down the street. Parked cars filled the surrounding roads.
