Concerns are:

Cell phone coverage
Are Generator allowed?
Bathroom facilities
Parking
Food/Drinks
Traffic
Security

This could to be a logistical nightmare if handled inappropriately.

I'm sure there will be snags, this being the first football game ever held there...

LSU and perhaps a couple of other SEC schools have superior tailgating to Alabama but no place has mastered the logistics of a major college football game as well as Alabama and the Brunos Event team does. Everything from parking, tailgate setup, nice convenient port a let setup, traffic flow, shuttle service, and gameday conveniences have been nailed down to an art form. Can`t count the number of visiting fans who rave about the convenient setup. Does that answer your question.

If you have AT&T, just forget about it...my service was terrible at the Bama/TN game.

I appreciate the sarcasm but this will be the biggest turnout at BDS ever. Even at LSU with BR being a metro area I seriously have my doubts about the campus as to whether they can avoid a massive clusterfrick of epic proportions.

I'm guessing you've never been to Tuscaloosa. Bruno's Event Team will have things taken care of.

I actually look forward to getting all my texts from the last 3.5 hours all at once when I walk out of a stadium.

you are correct but I really want to go even if i don't have tickets but I'm bringing a kid and don't want the logistics of something as simple as parking or taking a dump to be a ridiculous hassle. I'm OK with inconvenience but opposed to clusterfricks as stated earlier.

It's going to be crowded, but the Bruno Event Team has everything you can think of covered.

Like a typical LSU fan, you are overreacting

It will be crowded but its not gonna be that bad

I'm guessing some people aren't aware that even a shitty game has over 101,000 people in the stands, plus those just tailgating. The city and University are expecting around 150,000 people. They are ready.

Away from the central campus you will see them being used.

Unless you're bringing a fleet of airboats up the Black Warrior, I doubt you will have any serious issues.

you do realize there is a major difference between 100K & 150K people. The town of Tuscaloosa itself is only 184K.

You do realize that there's usually 120-130,000 for a typical game in Tuscaloosa. They are preparing for 20,000 more.
