re: Bama fans: How does the Rose Bowl stadium compare to SEC venues?

It's an old school stadium. If you like tradition, you'll like it very much!
Advice: go in early. To get in the actual seating areas, you must go through very narrow walkways. These walkways backed up horribly in January 2010. You must go through these narrow passages to go to the restroom and get refreshments. Also, take a jacket. Very cool when the sun goes down.
