Game #1 I was about four rows from the top of the stadium with a bunch of people that were about as much fun as wet blankets. Got a $45 ticket for $10. There were literally people on every corner trying to sell tickets.
Game #2 I walked down to the stadium with the notion that if I got a ticket - Cool! If not I'd come home and watch it with friends. I scored a ticket about 3 blocks from my apt after kick-off for $30 - it was worth $55. Well I ended up in the second row behind the opposing the team's players with a cool bunch of people. It was completely different they were so nice and friendly and INTO the game! I even ended up on ESPN cheering! The game was awesome -- although it was a nail-biter it literally came down to the last 30 seconds.
Game #3 Started out tail-gating and watched half the game then walked around the stadium and am now luxuriating in the air-conditioned apt watching the end and hopefully cheering the Tide to victory.
~Some Other Thoughts~
- I still marvel at the sheer volume of the RV's and the fact that they arrive on Wednesday (What do these people do for a living and how do I get to do it?)
- The exact number of people that descend on T-town? The stadium alone holds 92k there has to be at least 8 or 9k people on the quad and the surrounding areas.
- Roll Tide Roll is kind of like Aloha in that it can mean Hello, Goodbye, How Are You?, Let's Kick Some A$$, etc...
- Roll Tide Roll is also RTR and MUST be said at TOP VOLUME!!
