People are great. Stadium is great. Concessions are great. Parking is horrendous. Walked at least2 miles. Traffic was much worse than BR. Had 8 cops on every corner not doing a thing. It appeared they had succeeded in rushing out the first 10 percent only to have them clog up all the traffic out. I just got back to my hotel. Won’t be going back because of that.

Man, when there are that many people at a sporting event and no one leaves early, you just have to relax and ride the crowds out. Imagine how shitty that would be if we would have lost the game tonight.

I was actually wishing I would have attended….the weather was beautiful!

What did you purchase at the concession stand? What were the options?

I hear the burgers are really good.
Be sure to get the same powdered thing for tomorrow, and we'll get another win.

The traffic controls for any feeders onto the main drag was pitiful. Any of the side roads were basically at a standstill and only 5-6 cars were let onto the main drag at a time. Some side roads had no security folks helping them get out. Sad.

But, everything else is awesome.

People on this board tonight are really proving the inferiority complex notion to be dead right

Did concessions carry tofu burgers and soy dogs?

Enjoyed it immensely last night my only mistake was not realizing the stadium is booze free. That sucked mightily.

Pulled pork nachos were good. Crumbl cookies were ok…

Did I mention there is no booze?

Hoover is vv nice...parking does suck but you could always park down by the other fields and walk a little ways....It shouldnt be that bad today given there are only 4 teams left in the tourney, and by the time LSU plays today there will only be 3 teams left

I dont think it's completely dry...as in you can sell/serve alcohol at a restaurant/hotel but not at a stadium...I could be wrong but Alabama, Tenn an Mississippi have some weird drinking/selling alcohol laws
