Thanks for the advice and the info RammerJammer..As far as seats go, I personally prefer to sit towards the top quarter of the lower bowl. Obviously as close to midfield as possible. You are close enough to the action to feel like part of the game, but high enough that you can actually see plays develop and yardage gained.
Back in 2010, as a student, I managed to sweet talk the ticket lady and get into the Florida game without a ticket. The student endzone upper deck had just been built, and that is where I had to go as they had closed the lower bowl student seating (its first come first serve). The game was great-we whupped Florida (and made Urban Meyer quit!), but I felt as though I was watching the game from outer space. The crowd noise did not reverberate up there and the speaker system seemed to reach us only on currents of air. I remember that every time the goodyear blimp made a lazy circle overhead, its props drowned out any stadium atmosphere I had. But I still watched us beat Florida for the second time in a row. The upper decks are also kind of cool sometimes because you can look out over the town. It makes quite a contrast between the craze in the stadium and the seeming deadness of Tuscaloosa as everyone in town is preoccupied with the game.
But at the end of the day, wherever you are, you are in Bryant Denny Stadium watching a big time game!
Are you following the Rugby Championship right now Trav? The Boks pulled out a pretty intense game Saturday against Argentina.
Yes I still watch the Boks play religiously! As a South African if you aren't passionate about the Boks then you're pretty much deported!
We have been on a downward spiral lately but I think we are just starting to get it right.. No match for the All Blacks however, they are ridiculous
