LSU already sort of has this going on. It's $40 per vehicle and an extra $50 if you tow a trailer to park anywhere on the interior of campus. It has definitely helped keep all the riff raff out that just want to show up with their "professional" techno DJ and yell in a microphone all day only to leave right before kick off.

Parking in Gainvesville is pretty tough at times unless you go real early and there's not enough open areas to tailgate but that's not changing.

The gameday experience is mostly fine at UF as far as I'm concerned. I've got no complaints with anything. Well, cell signals suck but I'm not there to play on my phone.

None. It's the best. Can't change when you're the elite of the elite.

I love it when drunks yell at him to "Get off the field"...as if he's the one making the decision on when to end the TV Timeout.

This is simply too logical. Get out of here with that logic!

All things considered, they do a pretty good job with the traffic in Tuscaloosa on game days. It can get nasty for early kickoffs, and it's bad after the games, but that's to be expected with 100,000+ in town.

I generally don't like the corporate, sterilized feel of game day nowadays. I miss the times of just parking the first place you found and setting up your tailgate there. There's way too much planning involved now, especially if you have to set up on the quad. But I don't expect that to change as it helps with the traffic problem.

As for changes in the stadium, I wish they'd do away with the NFL-esque piped in music between plays and timeouts. Give the MDB more mics and amps and let them play in those spots. Many sections in BDS can't even hear the MDB. Better cell signal and more score updates as well.

I don't want any piped in music other than before the band takes the field.

After that it should be all GBFTL

Apart from the aforementioned beer sales, I wouldn't change a single thing about the Aggieland gameday experience.
