As a Bham resident this is the first bowl game I've actually been excited about in years. Got a new stadium north of downtown that's within the shuttle-bus grid, somewhat airport loungish but still bar-crawly places within a block, and two interesting teams that have had their moments with players who theoretically read books.

And I could watch option football all day.

Word on the street is that tickets are still about 50 bucks to start out, or pay 100 and be a baller.

It's not like old Legion field, where I would drop in on games with $20 loose cash in my pocket: $5 to park in somebody's driveway, another 5 to get a sammich, and the rest to finagle your way inside the Old Gray Lady.

Reads like Legion Field is an even bigger dump than the Cotton Bowl, where you paid $20 to park on somebody's lawn and hoped they didn't steal your tires.

Legion was sketch even when they played the Iron Bowl there. Never heard of shootouts though until this year's Magic City Classic between Alabama State and Alabama A&M. Probably random adjacent foolishness.

CSB/We got married almost 20 years ago during the Classic weekend. Put outta-town family up at the renovated Redmont Hotel downtown, where every other guest was a football alum of the schools. My tiny niece from Chicago probably still thinks everybody here is a giant./CSB

I’ve been to countless Texas/Ou games where I was just glad my truck was still intact, after parking in someone’s front yard.

Hook’em!!!
