One of my close friends has operated a vendor tent for 25 years in front of Tutwiler. They've been moved around a few times through the years, even been on the Quad a few times, but now they are all gone.
Pretty sad. It was one of the last ways that someone could make some money on game days, even though sales have been steadily dropping for a while. As I posted last month about the changing times at UA, I guess this is one more piece of evidence of it. It's just not the same place and same experience anymore. Winning is great, but when the losses happen, however rarely, and certainly not tomorrow against NMSU, that campus feel and experience can make up for it. I'm afraid it's being lost, never to return.
