I actually think I would have had more fun in Dallas, but I only made Bama.

Went to both. Only went to the game in Dallas though. Overall experience was BAMA. Dallas had no where near the atmosphere that Bama had. Pre and post game partying was out of control in BAMA. Would def rather go there a hundred times than Dallas.

I enjoyed the Duck fans alot more. They were pulling for their team, but very good sports about it all. The LSU duck calls & bread crumb antics were awesome.

The young Bama people were trying to fight with anyone and everyone. They even started fighting amongst themselves after the game.

The only thing I liked about Dallas (besides the people difference) was the near home game atmosphere. Bama was definitely a hostile environment.

I'd like to go back to Bama when it's not a "Game of the Century". I feel like it made everything very confrontational. I hope that next time it might be a little more cordial.... but then again, maybe not.

Didn't make the bama game. But Dallas was pretty fun. Aside from spending a night in jail it was a real treat.

I know it's neither Dallas or Bama but I was able to make the game in Morgantown and that was a great trip!!! The tailgating was lots of fun and it got pretty loud in the stadium! After that kick return for a TD that changed in a hurry!!!

I had the exact opposite experience, because both teams were held in such high regard I thought both sides showed a lot of respect for each other. There's always the few on the fray though.

However by far the worse tickets were in section NN in Bryant-Denny


The new endzone upper deck nosebleeds in Bryant-Denny are horrible- High, steep as heck, and set above and back from the rest of the stadium. They give the third deck at Georgia a run for its money.

Went to both. Bama was WAAAY more fun and memorable. The game itself was close but Dallas is a horrible town and the tailgating atmosphere sucked. Bama was more hostile but the tailgating was fantastic.

Bama simply because being on Campus>>NFL stadium always.

Pretty awesome that we've been the absolute center of the CFB universe twice (3 if you count WVU) already this season.



OT: a trip to UGA trumps any and all road trips I've been on by miles IMO.

Went to both games. The night life and city were better in Dallas. The game in Dallas was great because it was a big game and the 1st of the year. Tailgating was better in Ttown and the game (beating Saban) was great! Tough decision but I would have to for an overall trip Dallas was better. Don't get me wrong ttown was great!

I went to both games and had a better time in Dallas. It's probably because I was with a huge group and Cowboy Stadium is ridiculous. I only had one friend with me for the Bama game and had to stay at his Gump friend's apartment. That was the first time I had been to Bryant-Denny and was impressed. But overall I just had a much better experience on my trip to Dallas.

This is easy... went to both, Tuscaloosa.

Dallas was great, and the stadium sure is cool, but it was more of an SECCG or Bowl game vibe.

Real deal SEC war in a great college town/stadium beats the shite out of that.

We stayed in B'ham, tore up downtown Friday night; hired our hotel valet to be our driver Saturday, rolled in the Benz. Shite was real.

Arrived back in B'ham some time after 3/4 a.m. (time change).

Makin' memories, bro.
