The neutral site games are good and all but, I'd love more home and home games.

Me. But we won't get them bc the university only cares about the money they can make from neutral site games, they don't care about the fans. They continue to show they dont care about us. Taking away Dixieland Delight proved that.

Dallas games are nice. Really want to see a game in Houston.

Neutral site games are cool, but imagine if last year USC came to Bryant Denny instead. What if this year we travelled to Florida State? Would make it a lot more fun

I'd prefer that we never go back to Texas.

I honestly don't mind it.. gets me out of the usual routine and into a new stadium. It's also makes it where I only have to take the family to the beach once a year instead of twice. $5000 a week for the condo is what kills me. Add in food and entertainment..I'm coming out way ahead dropping a beach trip and adding an away game. I do wish we maybe scheduled more challenging opponents to come to Tuscaloosa, but I get why we don't. East Birmingham state university is great practice game to get healthy and iron out mid season issues. Also it lets the less successful fans catch a game.. imagine if all the tickets were as high as LSU. Then people would be upset they couldn't afford games and we would all hold on to those season tickets for every game. It would get to the point you would have to have season tickets to catch a game at Bama.

How about a Pac 12 match up at the new Raiders stadium in Vegas?
Who's with me?

frick neutral site games. You miss a huge part of college football tradition by playing in these NFL palaces. Yes, they are nice, but they are sterile, vapid places that do nothing for the game of college football. Part of the magic and excitement is visiting places like The Grove, Happy Valley, The Big House, The Coliseum, The Swamp, Death Valley, both of them, and the like. Learning about the opposing fans and what they like to do and where they go and what they eat. It's what made college football so regional and special to many different people. It's all just a business now. Screw the fans, the traditions, it's all about the benjamins.

Screw the fans
I'm not sure what fans you're talking about. The fans that actually pay for the tickets have not shown any desire to change the status quo. They buy out the entire allotment of season tickets (with a waiting list that just two years ago had 32,000 people), and they buy the full allotment of neutral site tickets.
When the fans that actually give money to the university get tired of it and stop forking over millions, THEN it will change.
Until then we will have neutral site games, which I personally still enjoy attending, btw.

Plus the neutral games are getting out of hand...
What would you genuine reaction if you scrolled n twitter and came across the headline: Alabama agrees to face Notre Dame in Dublin, Ireland in 2019.

I think I'd make the trip. I just don't wanna go to Mexico City like Texas is trying to do

I don't understand what people are complaining about.
Every neutral site game I have been to has been a blast...only one kind of meh was Wisconsin. Michigan and USC were crazy.

because these games are more fun at college campuses

I think that would suck, but I would love a neutral site game in Denver, San Diego, or Seattle.

According to who? I have plenty of fun at JerryWorld.
Rolled like a baller at USC. Club level with private bar and pass to the after party at the stadium club where the post game action was going down

USC was my first opening neutral site game, and I had a blast.
My last three postseason games were the Oklahoma Sugar Bowl, the OSU playoff game, and the Clemson NCG this past year.
I swear if we make it to the playoffs this year, I won't go.
