Shame on you if you weren't there.
Really???? Sorry, I'm not accepting any shame in this one. I love the University of Alabama but I can't justify $200+ for gas, not to mention food and lodging, to go to a spring practice "game" when I've got one headed off to college in the fall.

Yeah, the only reason we were able to go was because an unexpected bump in revenue on my side bidness. So we had some extree money to make the trip. But a lot people simply cannot afford $3.73/gallon gasoline, lodging, food and you know when you get there you'll incur other cost. Like I said, if it weren't for some extree funds coming late in the year for us we wouldn't have been able to make it either.

I suspect that it's also prom season and a lot of people were home getting their kids ready, but I was still disappointed in the decline this year.

At last night's Crimson Caravan meeting in Huntsville, Coach Saban noted that the two smallest crowds for A-day were after the 2009 championship and this year. He was talking at the time about the importance of the team, coaching staff, and fans not getting complacent. I personally felt that he was not happy with the crowd. Having listened to Coach Saban speak on several occasions it is apparent that what you did yesterday doesn't matter. As he said, the current team is not the 2011 team. This team has not won anything.

I looked around the stadium on Sat and thought to myself that our fans are getting complacent.

Some of us also have to work. I've been to one A-day game in my life and live in Tuscaloosa. This is also the first time that gas was this high this early. I'm not surprised attendence was down.
