Nothing like TS. Not many people claim BDS to be hostile. I surely don't. Most people will just be milling around the quad, lots of stuff for kids to do but the circus type atmosphere at TS is not even remotely close to what you will see. Most folks at BDS are there for the game. Some schools I honestly believe folks get off more on the tailgating. It's a subdued, kind of almost quiet crowd. The loudest thing you'll hear are Denny Chimes before the game.
You'll have an appreciation of the fans. Nobody bothers you and you can be comfortable. Even Iron Bowls are civil compared to some places. A great place for a visiting fan to come.


I wouldn't say subdued but more relaxed. Tons of people tailgating on the quad. Band playing out there. Lot more rowdy on the strip.

Nailed that. BDS is probably the most relaxed SEC venue there is outside of Vandy. Kinda chapped me for the longest time as we really aren't intimidating like the Swamp and not even on the same planet as Death Valley. Can get loud for the Game of Century type atmospheres, but for the most part, it's meh, which is cool in it's own way if you want to enjoy the game and decent fans.

Strip can get a little more crazy with the fratastic fans.
