I am attending fewer games because tickets to BAMA games are ridiculously expensive. I paid over $700 for (2) tickets to LSU at BAMA in 2011. I am also out of state. Hotels in Tuscaloosa are impossible to find on gameday weekends even 6-8 months ahead of time. I am an alumni and donor and its still impossible to find tickets at face value.

Yeah, the markup for tickets to that game each year is absurd.

I almost made the mistake of shelling out $500 for a ticket to 1/9. Thank GOD I didn't.

When I was younger a football game being an all day event for a 7pm start was fun. Now that I'm older it's not as appealing as it once was. Moved more toward baseball.

I've been lucky in that having a ticket to a football game was never an issue. Nowdays we (the family) normally give them away to customers of our business (like many do).

2:30 kickoff times in early September in places like Tuscaloosa or College Station make for a miserable gameday experience
