I was a UA student in the 70s and my student tickets were general admission, so I had to get there at least 90 minutes before the 1:30 game time. The September games were brutal, in part because BDS had the old-fashioned Astroturf and the stadium was only what is now the lower deck so there were no shadows. I remember thinking that if they would put a handle on one end we could call the place "The Skillet"!
Frontier flies that ISP-ATL route seasonally. Their schedule isn’t out for sale yet past August 10. Typically they’ll release their next schedule 120 days or so before this one ends, so you may be waiting until May 1-ish to see your actual options. Last year they flew ISP-ATL through October but that’s no guarantee they will do so this year; and even if they do, if bookings aren’t strong enough they may cancel and refund you. So, stay alert and keep shopping.
You probably know McClellan got BRAC’d in the late 90s. It’s a mixed use community now. Alabama National Guard does have a presence there. You will recognize the topography and some buildings, but not much else. Good luck on your trip to see the Tide play and safe travels. RTR
Frontier is out for sale ISP-ATL. Fares for Labor Day weekend run as low as $114 each way.
