Barn charging five bucks for their spring game

[mikes12]

If the Blue team wins, will people who were cheering for the Orange still roll the trees?

No, but they will roll them in celebration of the loss of either the Crimson or White.

I seem to remember that there was a charge for our A-day in the 60's when I was in school. I think the receipts when to the A club for some project. Again, this was more than 40 years ago so I won't guarantee my memory is all that great.

I don't remember it, but I departed in 1963...

Auburn has charged for their spring game as long as I can remember.

And they have been cheating probably for as long as you can remember too, huh? Got to keep the money flowing.

bamaee04 you beat me to it !!

 

[Crimson1967]

I was unaware they had always charged for A-Day. I think it is rather lame to charge for what is a glorified scrimmage where they don't show everything they can do and the rules are altered to where it isn't exactly a real game.

I honestly think Alabama needs to at least charge $5.00 -0 $10.00 for adults to help defray cost for SECURITY and stadium clean-up.

I can see this happening.......
At least the Aubie fans can go watch their team actually win a game.........

Does the team that wins get to say they beat an SEC team? They might get a ring for an undefeated spring!

The list of folks that they pay too "Keep It Down Home Cuz" grows every year..Gotta get the funds for it somehow..

Of course they had a lot - new coach equals high turnout. Thing is ol' Chizik was so bad that even a 6 win season will be considered a major improvement. They'll fill it up again, but will stop going when he plateaus at the 7-8 win mark.

Fans are not going to show up for a glorified scrimmage each and every year. There was nothing really new to see and it was on television. To continue to get more than 75,000 every year is impressive, in my opinion. Auburn, on the other hand, has a new coaching staff and fans were there for the final rolling of Toomer's Corner.

I think this had more to do with their crowd than anything.

I think you're overreacting. Nothing going on in Auburn had anything to do with Alabama or its fans.

Heard Mincy was thrown out of ADay today? Anybody else hear that, if so, for what?

 

[deliveryman35]

I think it would be a huge mistake to start charging people to attend A-Day. This is the one and only time of the year that many of our fans can afford to bring their families to Tuscaloosa and enjoy a 'game day' type atmosphere. With the gold mine our athletic dept and university are sitting on, I think they can afford to continue to offer this without charging for admission.

On Twitter someone suggested it was the new targeting rule the commentators were discussing during halftime of our game

Emotional comments get extreme reactions sometimes.
