Camping for travel tickets a powerful tradition

Camping for travel tickets a powerful tradition

When I first came to Alabama, I thought it was crazy to camp out for football tickets. Concert tickets and midnight book releases made lots of sense to my younger self, but camping out for an away football game seemed a little crazy.

Now, as a junior, I completely understand it. There’s something about pitching a tent and waiting for those doors to open to get the best seats in the ?stadium that gets your blood pumping.

Personally, I had a hard time trying to sleep Sunday night. I was too eager for Monday morning. I chose not to camp out this year, but I wish I had.

For those who plan on camping out for the rest of this season’s away games, have fun and enjoy it. For those who don’t want to camp out and are willing to endure the line, make sure you go with friends and bring some coffee.
