2 hours before kickoff is too late to do anything. The only excuse is if it's an 11:21 kickoff(which was the time slot for the Arky game back in 2009). Tough shite. It's difficult to get on a lot of campuses that close to game time. Bama game is at 5. you should be able to get a decent spot before 1.

Little Rock is a 4 hour drive. My son and I got up and drove over. Every other away game we've ever gone to, when we were within 3 miles of the campus with 2+ hours before kickoff, we were fine because the traffic cops knew how to route traffic on game days. These dimwits in Oxford acted like they were surprised so many people were in town that day.

There are 3-4 gates to the NEZ. There is also ANOTHER visitors section in the Southeast corner with another 3-4 gates.

Indeed there ARE 3-4 gates in the NEZ. Saw them with my own two eyes. I also saw the padlocks on them, as only ONE GATE was open with one ticket taker. Having gates and opening them are two different things completely.

quote:
I can tell that you're basing all of this on that 11:21 kickoff you had two years ago here. Bama fans won't have these problems unless all of them decide to come at the same time 2 hours before kickoff.

When you only have one gate for 5,000 fans, they can start arriving as soon as the gates open, and it will still be a huge clusterf**k.

And as someone who apparently likes Ol Miss, you should be ashamed of that dump and the way your visitors get treated in that end zone. It is absolutely disgusting.

Fortunately for me, I don't ever have to go there again. And I won't

Once again...the only times where congestion is a problem is for early games and everyone leaving immediately after the game. Bama fans shouldn't have this problem before a 5pm kickoff. Leaving will suck though as most people won't stay after to tailgate. You're trying to give advice to a Bama fan with a 5pm kickoff. An arkansas fan's experience with an 11:21am kickoff is irrelevant as is his experience in F'ville. Guess what....I live 3 miles from campus and I know how to get on it no problem 2 hours before kickoff as well. But I'm not going to sit here and try to explain it to a Bama fan not familiar with the area. You know your area and I know mine. I'd be lost in F'ville congestion as well.

No clue why only one gate was open for your game. Someone did frick up there. There were three gates open for the BYU and UGA game in that area.

Why? I'm not in the "visitor's hospitality" department. I'm in the "I give not a shite if the visitors come or not" department. You aren't ashamed of plastic pig hats and I'm not ashamed of you not getting the "Hilton treatment".

Good. Hopefully the rest of your piggy friends will stay in Arkansas as well.

ETA: except for Porky and WPS20 even though he is a registered cock sucker.
