Football gameday roadtrip plans

The high school senior has narrowed down her college choices considerably, so we've decided to take her for a football game at her top pick of Alabama. Or rather I'm putting on my game face, paying through the nose for decent seats on Stub Hub in the shade, with a chairback, as well as arranging the flights, hotels and a car rental for a three day weekend. The husband will stay home to dogsit our furry children and watch for us when the hoopla is televised from Bryant Denny Stadium. Upside to what should be a hellishly hot gameday with wall to wall people and rabid fans on both sides is that I get to see the Tide take on the grad student's alma mater of Texas A&M. This oughta be one interesting college trip!
