There will be parking spots available for the McNeese and LA Tech games.
Here is another perspective to view the parking situation. I have been parking in TD2 since before it was paved. Back in the Curley Hallman days. Used to be a gully running right through the middle of the parking lot. Anyone remember that? We've made friends with fellow tailgaters, Started parking together, even if it wasn't in our specified spots because the lot was usually never full, there was a lot of moving around. TD2 was sold out every season but not all showed up. We had a group of 8 or 9 rvs that stuck together. We went to away games, weddings and funerals. We celebrated anniversaries, holidays, birthdays and births. We are a family.

We were eventually displaced when construction started. We begged the ticket office to keep us together but that didn't happen. One of us is in 408 and the rest are in 413. At least we got parking places.

It’s a wood pole barn with metal siding. I wouldn’t call it a metal building.
Saw the Apollo launch when Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon. I was 13. 3 adults and 3 or 4 kids piled in the car for the trip. Stayed overnight on some bay beach, not sure exactly where. We could see the Saturn rocket in the distance. Had my little telescope set up, you could see the fuel vapor coming from the rocket. After launch we went home.
I was at the Georgia Tech game. We broke them that night. Celebrated too much after the game, spent all the money I had on me. Had to fly home the next day. Watched the Kentucky game at home. Always regretted not staying in Atlanta for the game.
I wish they would worry more about the actual condition of the road. Road might be crap but we'll have good reflectors!

Some good smokes in this thread. My two favorites right now are the Java Red by Rocky Patel and the Joya de Nicaragua 1970 Antano.
Border wall doesn’t have to be right on the border. Can be set back a ways from the border. Could probably be built and not be very noticeable by most.

From Rome to Amalfi, take the high speed train. Don’t drive on the Amalfi coast, narrow roads, blind hairpin turns and absolutely terrible parking situation. Get a room with a nice view on the Amalfi coast, doesn’t have to have a beach. Do a day trip to Capri. Gelato!

Shannon Sarver, he does excellent work. Highly recommended!
About 17,500’, Mt. Everest base camp in October 2015. Had diox, the altitude medicine.
Stayed at Hotel 1898. It’s on Las Ramblas, near Plaza Catalonia. Not far from the cathedral. Nice rooftop bar. Would recommend.
Thanks yall for the suggestions. We ended up at Binion’s steakhouse at the Horseshoe Casino. Was good, had a small filet.
