SEC Tournament trip advice
Posted on 5/21/17 at 4:33 pm

Some friends and I are making a trip to the SEC tournament this year and I was wandering if anyone on the Rant had any advice to give us while we're there. We already have tickets, hotel, parking etc. etc. Just looking for any tips from previous attenders that first timers may not know.
Also, two of our friends are still only 20 year olds, do they need to be worried about cops giving MIPs while we're tailgating?
Thanks, I'm hoping there will at least be some real responses, but this is Tiger Rant, after all.

Just don't make too much noise and the Hoover PD will leave you alone.

Are you asking for advice on how to break the law?

Oh man you should be flooded with Birmingham suggestions -- and for a good reason, it's a great metro. I lived and worked there last year and thoroughly enjoyed my time there... lots of P&G around.
I'll start the suggestions: here's a food-oriented thread from back in November. Eat and Drink well

It sounds like you had a blast in college.

I'm asking for advice on how to behave like every normal human being does without having to worry about the government telling me and my friends what we can or cannot do.

They've built a sports bar/convention center on site with the Met. Should be pretty cool. Gonna have activities for kids kinda like they do in Atlanta for SECCG.
Will be a Ferris wheel and zip lines too.

Lots going on next to stadium this year which will be a new experience at this year's tournament.
The 2017 SEC Baseball Tournament will include an improved SEC Fan Fest zone that includes the ferris wheel that was used at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, city officials said.
The ferris wheel, which is at least 60 feet tall, will be located between Hoover Metropolitan Stadium and the new 155,000-square-foot Finley Center, said Erin Colbaugh, the city of Hoover’s events coordinator.
The SEC Fan Fest zone also will include a zipline, nine-hole carpet golf course, golf simulators, driving simulators, classic arcade games, inflatables, virtual reality simulator, a Lego construction zone, photo booth and a food court with a variety of food and beverages, Colbaugh said.
There also will be a sports bar with electronic darts, ping pong, skeeball, foosball, pool tables, air hockey, shuffleboard, basketball games, corn hole and three giant Connect 4 games, she said.
The Fan Fest area also will include live entertainment, including a lot of musical acts from the Birmingham area, Colbaugh said. Most of the Fan Fest zone, excluding the ferris wheel, will be inside the Finley Center, she said.
Fan Fest activities will be free, except for ferris wheel rides, which will cost $5, she said. The ferris wheel will provide people a view into the stadium as they ride, Colbaugh said. Each compartment is capable of seating two adults and two children, she said.
Hoover City Administator Allan Rice said the goal is to to make the SEC Baseball Tournament a first-class experience for fans. “We believe this is going to rival what you experience when you go to Atlanta for the SEC Football Championship,” Rice said.
The city of Hoover will sell alcoholic beverages in the Finley Center, but people won’t be allowed to carry them outside the center, according to the contract between the city and the Alabama Sports Council, which is putting on the baseball tournament for the SEC.
Alcoholic beverages will not be allowed in the stadium, except in private suites, certain hospitality areas and other areas designated by the SEC, according to the contract.
Hours for the Fan Fest zone will be 8:30 a.m. through the seventh inning of the last game day of the day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 1 p.m. to midnight on Friday; 10 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday — the day of the championship game.
Hours for the ferris wheel will be 2-10 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday. Hours for the zipline will be 2-8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday.

It's called making a bourbon and Coke in the Coke bottle. Hell, even our RA gave us that advice.

Making it in a Chick-fil-a cup is another good move

I was just wondering if they had to do things like that or if they could just drink a beer in the open like the rest of us.
