Email from the desk of MAl Moore about gameday

[BamaFan1961]

A friend just sent me this email and it has some good advise about gameday.

Dear Crimson Tide Fan:

This week more than 92,000 of you will make your way to campus to help us celebrate the beginning of a new football season in the first home game coached by Nick Saban.

As I’ve stated on a number of occasions, in all my years in athletics, I’ve never experienced as much enthusiasm or as much anticipation for a season to begin.

While the unprecedented demand for tickets to see the Crimson Tide play is a wonderful situation to have, with it comes logistical complications. We will have many more people on and around campus than ever, including a record number of students as well as many fans who will arrive without tickets; but who want to be part of the atmosphere on the quad and other areas.

I strongly urge each and every one of you who plans to be here, not only for the opener but also for any other event, to please go to UAGameday.com and familiarize yourself with traffic flow and parking. There have been changes in both areas, and it will help you make your plans to arrive early and come with a group of your friends.

Certainly, our staff is aware that there will be moments of frustration. But it is part of the process of having a growing fan base as well as an ever expanding campus and community, all of which is important to the future success of our football program and for the well-being of our University.

I look forward to seeing many of you next week and throughout the upcoming season.

Kindest Regards,

Mal Moore
Director of Athletics

Very good advice. It will be a madhouse this weekend, but hopefully this will help.

I also found this on Tigerforums.com

I'm so tired of that story popping up. It is fake. end of story.

Ok, most of this I understand. However...the "dress code" part confuses me a bit. Most of it is reasonable but "All Jerseys worn into the stadium must be Nike"? What???????? Do we know how accurate this is?

 

[irish_tide]

Oh, ok...just read your post tupelo...glad to hear it. Thanks!

Well, I guess we will not have too many UT or LSU fans being allowed into BDS.

Ok. I'm an idiot. I just remembered this is fake. Please excuse me while I bang my head into a brick wall repeatedly.

Nope. I was afixin to wear my cut off overalls. I only wear my cutoff jeans to church and other such special occasions. Dang, who ever runs this football stuff at Bama sure is upity. I don't like it. Think I'll rite a letter to the editor at the gazette. I pay taxes.

"But it is part of the PROCESS" MM
