Not sure but get in line early...There aren't many gates

Recommend you get there early. Lots of security and not many gates. It took an hour to get in after getting to the gate an hour early. Even the King (FKA) had to wait in line with the other peons.

Def get there early, we waited in line for 45 Min and barely made pregame

Will open 2 hrs before game. It is a beautiful stadium and the food prices are ridiculously cheap. First class facility

This. Walked through an hour and 15 before game time and zero line through security.

Tried an hour before and took over 45 minutes.

Prior to the start of the SEC champ game, they got cute and had everybody go through metal detectors, like security checkpoints at airports.
The result was the same as at the Georgia game in Baton Rouge last year: thousands of people in a mass waiting to get into the stadium. I saw 2 of the plaza areas outside the gates packed with people from stadium to street.
The only reason I got in before kickoff is they took 2 of the 4 metal detectors dedicated to player will call (all were vacant - 4 for player will call. Really?), and switched them to serve gate traffic.

Gates open 2 hours before, if you get in line after 3 expect a 30-45 min wait.

Went through gate 4, no waiting, I saw a crowd at the other gates. Not sure why they didnt just walk around.

it takes a long time to get through security anyway but with everyone showing their tickets on their phone aps it will be even worse

some notes:
you cant bring in air. they made my son leave his football at the gate. said it had to be deflated.
You can however, put any weapon of your choice in your clear bag because they wont look in it. I asked the person who made us relinquish the ball why she didnt want to look in my bag. She responded, "I dont need to look in there"
Also, you scan your ticket yourself with no workers present. literally two people can go through the turnstile at once.
summary, bring an extra friend at no charge....put your weapons in your clear bag but by all means exhale as you enter the stadium because air is not allowed

This has the potential to be a disaster.
We'll see.

I walked right in and I saw pregame. I went to Gate 1.
Posted on 12/19/19 at 9:37 am to pxrona
I believe 1:30 for a 4pm kickoff
That is when it was opened for the SEC Championship if I recall correctly

The SECCG gates were fricking awful (we went in the small area down some stairs and it was like being in a cage.)
I’m getting there as early as possible next week.
Anyone know if there will be stadium wide alcohol this time?

Yes they will be serving booze. As far as the gates go, the line by the main entrance was packed, but all levels are accessible through any gate, so just walk a quarter around the stadium and go in a different entrance. I was in line for maybe 10 minutes max
Eta: gate 2 will be slammed, but just walk to 3 or 4 and you’ll be fine.
