re: Over 54,000 tickets sold to Compass Bowl

That's why I usually stay in Ft. Worth

But McKinney Street out around SMU is real fun too

ehh...I don't know about that. I'd much rather go to Dallas.

For a weekend? What the frick is there to do during a weekend in Dallas aside from sit in traffic on I-20 all day?

I've been to Dallas more times than I can count, and I've still never figured out the appeal. It may be a great place to live (I don't know), but it's not a great place to visit.

ETA: My point really is that I care about the football game. That's it. The only city where the extracurricular activities would matter to me would be New Orleans, and that's because I'm very familiar with the city and have family who live there. And the Superdome is within walking distance to bars and the casino.

Can one of the people claiming that Legion Field attendants are regularly robbed, assaulted, et al provide a link to the police report or news article reporting the last crime that occurred at a major sporting event like the BBVA bowl?

Local residents who thow this out like a fact are an embarrassment and part of the reason why Legion Field is the only option in the area. . . And no Bamatards, Tubberville-Denny Stadium does not count as most major cities don't rely on a CFB stadium for sporting events

The SEC paintrain took a few days off, but we back!

Thinking Legion Field may collapse with that many people in it.

B'ham area residents, many of them Bama fans, are a pathetic frickin joke. They constantly bitch about everything and are the most overly negative, overdramatic, miserable aholes on earth when it comes to the area.

Haha, I know what you mean. Funny thing is, those same people are deathly afraid of any area of any city that's considered "downtown." They shite on Bham because they're to stupid and uncoordinated to drive from Hoover to the Civic Center for their Luke Bryan concert without getting hopelessly lost, and potentially "mugged."

It is the EXACT reason B'ham can't have the really nice things. Anything project that requires any regional cooperation whatsoever from area voters and the various local governments is quickly beat down and defeated by these miserable naysayers. The MAPS project vote in 1998 which would have raised the county sales tax a measley penny on the dollar to fund a nice multipurpose sports and convention facility was soundly defeated by these idiots. Oklahoma City PASSED the exact same MAPS program the exact same year and built The Ford Center and the Bricktown development and they now have an NBA franchise in part because they aren't clueless miserable idiots like so many B'ham area voters.

Heck, you can't even build a world class Grand Prix road course with 100% private funds like Barber Motorsports Park without some Bham area people finding fault even with it. It continually amazes me how insanely negative a lot of Bham area residents are about the area.

I thought Legion Field was declared unsafe?

MCB sold 55,800 of which approximately 47k were Vandy fans. Most of the students were out of town and did not attend the game. Not bad for a fan base that does not exist.
