I mean even the Cotton District is what two bars you can kind of comfortably walk in and the rest you're packed in like a bunch of sardines.

Starkville needs to shed the blue collar mentality and embrace being cool. Embrace the Starkvegas crap or Swag Is State. Hell yea it's corny but Ole Miss fans have one magazine saying Oxford was a cool place 20+ years ago and they've embraced it and spewed it enough times that people believe it. It's nothing more than buy in
This is true, alot of older fans and alumni don't want to admit it but there are some upgrades and updates that the community needs. Times are changing in sports with the transfer portal and NIL. We will have to adapt with them. I like the Starkvegas name and using that and expanding on that around the city with new attractions for younger people, bright lights etc. Some will disagree and that's ok, but I do think the community and surrounding areas need more
