Home Game

The groceries have been bought, the fridge is well stocked, the gas tank is full, the errands have been done. I think we are ready.

This is, after all, the first home game of the season and we've been warned. The stadium holds 100,000 people- the majority of fans travel in to the city for the game, there are hundreds who come on Thursday and camp out on the front lawn of the University. We've heard the rumors of those who have spent $10,000 for a set of game day tickets. The City of Tuscaloosa makes 4 million dollars each weekend there is a game played at home.

The locals and those more experienced than us have encouraged us to "hunker down" because if the city of Tuscaloosa has a population of 100,00 people and you add the student body of the UA + those visiting for the game you end up with a whole lot of people. Taking their advice; we planned ahead. We are watching and waiting for the explosion to unfold.

For those of us who don't follow football here is the schedule so you can be in the know (compliments of rolltide.com):
