re: What is Brant Denny stadium like?

Went in 2009 and in 2011 for the LSU games.

The stadium itself is very nice, almost has a pro feel to it, but not nearly as corporate.

They didn't really have much "filler" before the games, no gimmicks or DJ's or anything. The pregame was nice but doesn't have the rowdiness that LSU has once the band takes the field.

I can see why there's a sense that it's a bit hollow, despite 100,000 + fans, because they've become so accustomed to winning. However in 2011, the crowd intensity was comparable to some of the biggest games in Tiger Stadium.

I don't think much of Tuscaloosa, but BDS is worth the visit especially for this game. Probably the best stadium in the West outside of the good guys
